THE HEART BEHIND THE NAME
Meraki
[maA-'rak-E] adjective
“The essence of oneself—the soul, creativity and love put into one's work.”
A Greek word for focusing on something with passion, absolute devotion and undivided attention. For Laura, it is three decades of her life expressed through every pairing, every puppy, every lesson and every family welcomed into Meraki K9.
