Gwynn is married to Peggy and they currently reside on a farm in the Loris and raise Quarter horses. A series of books by James Herriot, DVM, including All Creatures Great and Small, gave him a passion to apply and gain acceptance to the University Of Georgia College Of Veterinary Medicine in 1975. During the time he had to deal with diseased and hurting animals, and feeling like he had poor knowledge to help them, Gwynn became interested in veterinary medicine. Horrified by disease, misery, and the sheer number of unwanted pets he found there, he sought help from local veterinarians in giving him aid in handling the large population of unwanted pets the facility had to deal with. He graduated from Clemson and moved to Atlanta and he found a job managing the local animal control unit. Even though he saw students interviewing once each year to get into veterinary school, he still did not think about becoming a veterinarian. However, a professor’s interpretation of what chemistry was all about led Gwynn back to his farm roots and a major in Animal Science. He did well in school and gained admission to Clemson University with an interest in becoming a chemist. Although Gwynn loved animals he had never entertained the thought of becoming a veterinarian. After Gwynn pleaded not to let Brownie suffer, his dad allowed him to stay in an old barn and after several weeks of nursing care, Brownie returned to his place by Gwynn running and playing on the farm. Brownie, one of his dogs, was injured by a car, and his dad was not going to let Gwynn keep him. While fishing, hunting, and playing, there was always a dog with him. In fact, Gwynn considered his dogs his best friends and they went everywhere on the farm with him. He was always around cattle, pigs, and dogs growing up. Doctor Gwynn Hardee grew up on a small farm in rural Horry County, not too far from where he currently resides.
