Graduation!

Darby

Charlie and I

I have an exciting update on two of the amazing dogs I have worked with.  Charlie (who I worked with spring and the first part of summer last year) and Chester (who I worked with this past fall) both graduated this week and were placed as service dogs!  They were both placed for physical assistance/mobility work, and I couldn't be more proud of them.

I was so happy to be able to attend graduation and see the final pairings for the five PawPADs dogs that were placed.  Alongside Charlie and Chester were their sisters, Dani (School Resource Dog) and Darby (Diabetic Alert Dog), as well as Ganther (School Resource Dog).  It was awesome getting to see the teams interact and see the beginning of a bond that will only continue to grow stronger over time.
