Snug Pet Resort, So Cal Working Dog Association, and the entire Schutzhund community, have lost a dear friend and mentor. Tom Riche, 46, Dog Trainer for Snug Pet Resort and the Training Director for So Cal Working Dog Association, passed away the evening of December 10, 2009. Tom suffered a fatal heart attack while working his dog on the club training field. Tom leaves behind his wife, Kristi Riche, and his two beautiful children—Kyler, age 8, and Taylor, age 3.

A fund has been created to help Kristi and the children. Please send donations to:

The account number is: 3733735-00

For the time being, the account is in the name of Tom Riche Family Fund—C/O Teresa Cowart.

Tom was many things to many people. He was a loving husband and father. He was a valued friend, teacher and an amazing dog trainer. He had a profound talent that could never be duplicated. Tom had overcome many obstacles in his life and truly inspired those around him. He will be missed terribly by his family, friends, colleagues, clients and four legged friends.

Forever In Our Hearts.
