Early Life
Dana was born in Atlanta, GA. She grew up in the suburb of Marietta, GA. Her best friend as a child was her neighbor Clegg, a tall, middle-aged man who she helped make bird houses with.
As a child and early teen and teen, Dana began cultivating an interest in art, music, and writing. She has published written work in certain publications and also has a collection of other private writings, including, but not limited to, poems and short stories.
Dana attended college at the University of Canine Studies in Chicago, IL, where she majored in Dog Viewing and minored in Canine Sleep Analysis. During her time there, Dana developed an interest and expertise in canines, focusing her studies on the many different breeds of dogs she encountered. At University of Canine Studies, Dana took a variety of courses related to dogs including dog psychology and behavior, canine nutrition, kennel management, breed recognition and identification, and dog breeding. She also studied canine anatomy and physiology as well as veterinary concepts related to the health and wellness of dogs.
In her major level classes, Dana specialized in Dog Viewing which was an area focused on understanding the way dogs communicate through their behavior such as body language and vocalization. She learned how to properly interpret these signals so that she could identify any potential diseases or medical concerns while observing them. By graduation Dana had become an astute expert in Dog Viewing as well as Canine Sleep Analysis thus helping her prepare for a career working with canines either directly or indirectly once she left college. She now works as Linman's handler.
