Changing the Way People Think About Feeding Their Dogs
About 24 years ago I read a book called The Nature of Animal Healing, written by Dr. Martin Goldstein DVM. He talked about commercial dog food production, vaccinations, and introduced the idea of holistic pet care. I was sickened, motivated, and hooked on doing better for my dogs Jerry and Lucie. I promptly tossed two bags of kibble... right into the dumpster! Since then I've had 15 dogs of my own, plus another 80 or so fosters, and served home cooked meals that became more sophisticated as the years passed. In 2014, my little black lab mix Lucie was diagnosed with a liver adenoma and then hemangiosarcoma, despite being on good food most of her life. She put herself on raw food, we pursued holistic and homeopathic therapies, never said the word cancer in front of her, and she outlived her expiration date by more than 3 years most of which were symptom free. I left corporate America and a 17 year career in management consulting to start this business and be at home with her as she grew old... and every single thing I learned with her through her life and especially throughout her illness made motivated me to pursue excellence in sourcing, recipes, and individual ingredients and proportions to help her live not just longer but really well despite with the doctors predicted for her. Every dog I've loved, and each dog I've served through Lucie's Legacy renews my commitment to excellence, service, and wellness through nutrition.

John Rhodes - Digital Impression coordinator
Born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas, John brings both hometown pride and a hands-on approach to everything he does. As co-owner of Apache Spirit Bison Company, John’s journey into the world of pet nutrition began when a portion of their bison meat didn’t meet the standards for human-grade consumption. Rather than let it go to waste, he saw an opportunity—one that led him to cross paths with Christie and become part of the Lucie’s Legacy mission.
With a degree in Hospitality Management and a natural talent for tech, John now oversees the website, product fulfillment, and day-to-day administrative operations. His keen eye for quality and logistics ensures that each order is handled with care and precision. John is proud to support a healthier, more mindful alternative to mass-produced pet food, and finds purpose in helping pets thrive—one bowl at a time.
