In November, I met Venessa Johnson at the airport in Rochester for an assignment for The New York Post. Johnson was picking up her new 8-month-old Shih Tzu puppy, Ollie, who is a clone of her late dog Oliver. I did not know what to expect before arriving at the airport, but that is how some of the best assignments go. My time with Venessa was filled with very positive vibes, smiles and happy tears.
