They’re going to be great friends!
Congratulations to Oshea and his new best friend Austin. In the short week long graduation Austin ordered food from a restaurant twice, ran and played independently in the parks and was able to attend a very loud BBQ cook off.

Our second 2007 graduate is Goliath. He is a whopping 90 pound bundle of devotion. He can not stand to let his little person get out of sight. Goliath is dedicated to keeping his autistic partner safe and happy. To the mother’s relief, they are great companions and Goliath is a fully functioning set of second eyes, ears and paws. Let’s all keep them in your prayers and wish them good luck.
Caleb is a 2007 graduate. Caleb is a proud and handsome service dog who is very devoted to his owner. Though Caleb does have a quirky sense of humor he is very dedicated to his tasks.
