Stronger than his love of dogs is Al's passion with Bonsai. He has studied under many masters and has a degree in the teaching of the care of azaleas bonsai (satzuki) by the Eldorado Bonsai School, under the guidance of Tatemori Gondo, from Osaka, Japan. Al has traveled to Japan to visit and study the art. He nurtures what is considered the largest collection of shohin bonsai in the US.
