Lives Touched
I wanted to drop a note to tell you all how much I have appreciated your visits with the dogs over these past ten+ years. I have worked with residents in assisted living, skilled care, and memory care who love dogs and aren’t always able to see any. Your handlers are always very cheery and the dogs are always very well behaved. It's such a positive thing you all are doing. You make a difference in the lives of others.
