Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello! I'm Jamie, the founder of The Little Speaker, where I have the privilege of enriching the minds of young learners across Singapore with lessons in reading, creative thinking, and English Speech and Drama. Beyond my pursuits, I am also a proud owner of 2 Singapore Specials.
Can you tell us about the moment you decided to adopt a dog and foster another?
Growing up, I had two dogs: one was a Singapore Special, discovered by a classmate while jogging in the park. The second, a Maltese, joined our family about three years later; my cousin's friend had imported him from Australia and, after a few short months, decided they weren't ready for the commitment. That's how we came to adopt our second dog. After both dogs passed away, I vowed never to have dogs again. However, upon moving out of my family home, and roughly ten years after my dogs had passed, I felt ready to welcome another furry friend into my life. While I was certain about adopting, I had never anticipated the desire to foster another.
