Timothy Braun is a Professor at St. Edwards University, where he primarily focuses on teaching playwriting and screenwriting. While he used to travel around the country as a playwright, getting his dog Dusty led him to becoming more grounded as a person and eventually staying in one place (Austin, Texas). With his furry sidekick, he learned the power of growing more stable in his routine. They even did so much nonprofit work for the local community that the Mayor of Austin named a day of the year after Dusty after he recently passed away. Dusty instilled a permanent shift in Tim’s actions and outlook, taming him in the best way possible and preparing him for the next chapter of his life, a marriage, that ended up happening right after Dusty left – but was a symbol and reminder for passing the torch to Tim’s new wife, and that his spirit will live on.FEATURED LINKSTimothy Braun website - http://timothybraun.comTimothy Braun on Twitter - https://twitter.com/TimothyBraun42Timothy Braun on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/timothybraunTimothy Braun on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/timothy.braun.716Timothy Braun’s first Modern Love piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/fashion/dog-anchors-man-facing-setbacks.htmlTimothy Braun’s second, recent Modern Love piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/16/style/modern-love-man-who-is-nice-to-animals.htmlDaniel Jones, Editor of Modern Love - https://twitter.com/danjonesnytAustin Animal Shelter - http://www.austintexas.gov/department/aacHomeslice Pizza in Austin - https://homeslicepizza.comSOCIAL MEDIAWebsite - https://www.dogsavethepeople.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople/Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavethepplFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople
