Paws of Honor at Fetch National Harbor
Friday before the keynote presentation.
Join us in honoring K9 Mr. Warner Blair and his handler, Eric Blair, for their outstanding contributions, including more than seven years (2014–2021) of courageous service to the Springfield community as part of the Springfield, MA Police Department.
Throughout his career, K9 Mr. Warner played a vital role in countless arrests, life-saving efforts, school visits, and the apprehension of armed suspects—leaving a lasting legacy of honor, strength, and compassion. His service was marked by unwavering dedication and unmatched distinction.
In collaboration with Paws of Honor, dvm360 will honor a retired K9 each morning before the start of the keynote presentation—in recognition of their service and the vital role our veterinary partners play in supporting their continued care throughout retirement.
Saturday before the keynote presentation.
Join us in honoring K9 Walter Carter and his handler, Steve Carter, for their exceptional service, including nearly six years (2019–2025) of dedicated federal service in explosives detection with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
During his career, K9 Walter contributed to national event security, critical incident responses, and federal search warrants—helping to protect lives and communities across the country. From uncovering dangerous explosives to providing comfort in high-stress environments, his service exemplifies the powerful impact of working K9s.

Author profile on Amazon | Company
About the author:
Dr. Chivvis is a homeschool mom, wife, veterinarian, author, and indie publisher. As an internship- trained veterinarian, Dr. Chivvis takes great pride in helping pets and relieving pain and suffering. She also loves interacting with pet families, collaborating with them, and education them about their pets. Her writing journey began after the birth of her first child, when she felt a strong pull to create a children’s book. At the time, the idea felt impossible—but years later, she found a way to blend her passion for storytelling and education with real-world experiences from her veterinary career.
Since then, she has created educational coloring books for kids and adults, an activity book, and practical guides that make veterinary topics accessible to families. She also launched a pet-owner education website, CritterCareCollective, and published The Dog Owner’s Guide to Health Emergencies, which received the Literary Titan Gold Book Award. Her long-anticipated children’s picture book—the one that sparked it all—is nearly ready for release.
Dr. Chivvis is always working on several projects at once—some practical, some playful, and all close to her heart. She believes in transparency, growth through trial and error, and the power of making pet care and education approachable for everyone.
