  year's Unconditional Alone and I'm a Welfare of award. I do want to say
• 7:41
  that some years ago I did the morning show with the Island News and the
• 7:45
  great Bobby Nystrom, and we playing Hockey Yard Morning Long on television, and
• 7:53
  one of the other teammates showed up named Nick Vocona, named Dick Nick Vacous,
• 7:58
  Let me show you Bill how much on the hockey is And he smiled,
• 8:01
  and he had no frontier. He loved being a New York Islander.
• 8:07
  John's the co owner of those Islanders and a long time animal lover John t
• 8:13
  when was love. All right, all right, let's get everybody's attention here.
• 8:26
  Let's shoot the pot. Ladies in the back, may be your attention
• 8:33
  just one minute. I'm John the Day, a corner of the New York
• 8:37
  Islanders. The Islanders are very proud to be honored tonight. We're very excited
• 8:41
  about our association with his great organization. I want to thank Matt Meeker from
• 8:48
  Bark, who's the other honoring Matt started a business because he wanted to take
• 8:56
  better care of his dog, Hugo, and he didn't feel there was that
• 9:00
  opportunity in the marketplace. And Matt has taken his company from zero in sales
• 9:05
  less than ten years ago to a public company doing over six hundred million dollars
• 9:09
  in sales taking care of dogs. So when he comes up here and give
• 9:13
  him his full attention, I want to also recognize Kathleen Rice, former congresswoman
• 9:20
  who wrote the Pause Act of twenty twenty one, which matched dogs with PTSD
• 9:26
  victims events. Thanking Kathleen for doing that in the Congress. It's so damn
• 9:30
  hard to get a bill pass. You got a pass, thank you.
• 9:35
  So in the program it'll tell you that my life changed because I had a
• 9:39
  dog. I moved to a new town and I was walking the dog my
• 9:43
  first day in the town and a woman rolled up in a station wagon and
• 9:46
  said, are you new in town? And I thought, how would she
• 9:50
  know that I was my first day in town. She said, well,
• 9:54
  I know every basset hound in town, and I've never seen your dog.
• 9:58
  Give me your name and number and I'll be in touch. And that woman
• 10:03
  was Isabel Malcolin, who introduced me to my longest friend in the world fifty
• 10:07
  years Scott Malkin, who is the co owner with me now with the New
• 10:09
  York Islanders. So your life can challenge because of a dog. What do
• 10:16
  we do with the Islanders for dogs? We have the Guide Dog Foundation,
• 10:20
  which matches and brows puppies with a purpose. We take a puppy each year,
• 10:26
  we name it after an Islander's great and they end up being on the
• 10:28
  Tonay Show when they're handed off to a worthy blind person veteran people who need
• 10:33
  a guide dog. And we're very, very proud of our association with that
• 10:37
  great organization. We also do a Pucks and Pause calendar. I hope all
• 10:43
  of you will buy it. It raises close to one hundred thousand dollars a
• 10:46
  year for animal shelters throughout the Long Island area, and we also work with
• 10:52
  the North Shore Animal League, where the Islanders players and their wives help nor
• 10:58
  Shore Animal League. I want to thank you for this award. I want
• 11:01
  to thank people who turned out. I have a bunch of tables. Thank
• 11:03
  you for making time out of your incredible schedules to be here. We sold
• 11:07
  out because of you. We've raised a record amount of money because of you.
• 11:11
  Thank you, particularly Anchor Capital Michael Man, and I want to thank
• 11:16
  Dave Borrocas from Shark Ninja which is going public, Shark Ninja, by your
• 11:20
  Matt, you cleaners and blenders from Shark Ninja a great supporter tonight. That's
• 11:26
  all I've got. Thank you for your attention. Let's go Islanders. I
• 11:30
  know I have to deliver you guys a Stanley Cup one day. We worked
• 11:33
  every day really hard to do that. Please come and see us at ubs,
• 11:37

• 11:39
  a great evening. Thank you, Bell. I'm comany behind Bark Bucks.
• 11:48
  Matt Meeker. There's nothing to wisen to fight this guys, Thank you,
• 12:01
  Thank you, what a tough act to follow. And John Ladaki hun Wow,
• 12:05
  thank you John, thank you for all the support. Thank you to
• 12:09
  everyone here for inviting us and having us here. I think John said a
• 12:16
  lot of things that are very true, and we seem to be true that
• 12:20
  for me, especially a dog, one dog changed my entire life by Doc
• 12:26
  Hugo who meant the world to me and started BARK, and that allowed us
• 12:31
  to change and hopefully make lives happier for millions of dogs and their people to
• 12:37
  come closer together. That's our mission at BARK is to make all dogs happy.
• 12:43
  It's not just the dogs that can afford our products or that our customers,
• 12:48
  but all dogs. So every dog that we sell him, the dog
• 12:50
  breed everyone that passed us through your wonderful organization here, we care about all
• 12:56
  of them. So I think in that way, all of us the shared
• 13:00
  mission of making all dogs happy. I hope we get to play a little
• 13:03
  part in that and support that as we go forward. And and I'm personally
• 13:11
  touched by the what do I call it the mission or the work that your
• 13:18
  organization does. I happen to live in Naples, Florida, so if we
• 13:22
  go back ten months ago, we had Hurricane Ian blow through Naples, Florida,
• 13:33
  devastating time for us, and my wife and I went. We went
• 13:37
  and volunteered at the local Humane society there. There were during that time they
• 13:43
  had fifty dogs in residents who needed homes, and a lot of those dogs
• 13:50
  were brought north to cities like New York, Chicago, Southampton, Fountain Homes
• 13:56
  with out of the forty, out of the fifty dogs that were there,
• 13:58
  forty right have been found homes and one of them was left behind. Garrett
• 14:05
  and so Gary found our homes and in the nine but since then, Gary,
• 14:09
  we're gonna run out of juice. Sit Southampton. I don't know a rescue foundation
