SANDPOINT — Putting smiles on faces and creating happier hearts.
That's what Dogsmile Adventures is all about, officials with the nonprofit said.
"A dog smile is an expression of unadulterated happiness," Capt. Jon Totten, founder and executive director, said previously of how the therapeutic sailing nonprofit got its name. "You're so happy that you don't care about how you look or how you're seen or what anyone else thinks."
