Every dog has a story.
Small legs. Big adventures.
The little dachshund behind our
mascot.
He loves sunshine, chasing a ball, and curling up with his humans. They’re the little routines that make him Stevie.
A step that looks different.
Is that how he usually stands?
The same route. A little more time to get home.
He waits by the open door instead of getting in.
He pauses at the top before heading down.
His first few steps after a nap seem tentative.
A brief change in his rhythm on the way back from playing.
The same wooden floor. A little less sure of his footing.

Paul spent two decades in automotive design with Jaguar, Hyundai Kia, and Ford, working on systems that turn complex engineering inputs into information people can understand and trust. When his dog Stevie had a health scare, he kept coming up against the same problem: there was no objective record of how she'd been moving. No baseline. Nothing to compare. That question became the starting point for Hound Forward.
Clinical Lead & Co-Founder
Dr. Ricky is a canine physiotherapist who has built his career around watching dogs move. In clinical practice he often sees gait changes weeks before they become a diagnosis: subtle shifts in weight, small asymmetries in stride, early compensations that most owners wouldn't recognise. His clinical judgement underpins everything Hound Forward measures.
Technical Co-Founder
Grant is a full-stack engineer with rich experience in software architecture and data infrastructure. His experience covers platform engineering, data pipelines, and the systems design needed to handle complex information at scale. He brings the kind of end-to-end technical depth that helps a small team build reliable tools that last.
Technical Co-Founder
Umair builds the part of Hound Forward that watches a normal walking video and turns it into a clear picture of how a dog moves. He focuses on catching the small changes owners care about, and making those details feel trustworthy rather than technical. His work sits behind the movement picture you see after a short walk.
