Saturday was Freedom Service Dogs Summer Class of 2011 graduation program. 18 client/dog teams graduated. As always, it was a heart-warming and tear-filled event. As a volunteer, I have worked with and know 10 of the 18 dogs. One was Jonas, who we fostered for 6 weeks. His photo was in a previous post. He has a wonderful new family and home. They are all fantastic dogs, and they had all been given to shelters by their previous owners, were rescued and trained to become service dogs and/or therapy dogs. It is a glorious feeling to know that we have helped out, even in a small way.
To learn more of one of the client/dog teams, here is an article from the Denver Post:
