California Families

She is a cool dog. I love to play with her and she has helped the family with Riley.

Sam is awesome. He tolerated Brady's many classmates as they petted and doted over him while he was tethered to Nicolas. Sam seemed to actually enjoy all of the attention. Nicolas is really getting the hang of how it works, and I witnessed him "turn around" to get the tether unwrapped when he got twisted up. Amazing. Thank you so much for Sam.

When we first started working with Riley, our son, he could really care less where Lady was and then all of a sudden he started requesting that Lady be under his table while he worked and now when he's working in his bedroom, Lady knows the routine. We don't do anything without Lady, I mean Riley doesn't go potty without her in the bathroom. Lady eats with Riley, bathes with Riley, everything. Riley's communication has grown leaps and bounds.
Nicole P.
Lady has become a wonderful addition to our family. She has become Riley’s new world. She has allowed him to become a small part of society and has helped Riley with his verbal skills. Riley tries to give Lady her commands and plays with her all the time. It is very hard to put into words what Lady means to our family. We knew that dogs have a way with people, but to actually see her miracles is beyond what words can express. She and Riley have become very close and I know that he depends on her every day and so do we.
Nicole P.
Lady is like another member of the family and is giving us more freedom than we have had in the last few years.

Ohio Families

Joshua used to rely on the safety of his youth stroller to go into public places without tantruming. Now, with Charlie assisting him, he just walks right in to the grocery store, mall, church, bank, and even the doctor's office.

Oregon Families

Blake is a lot calmer, especially when they are tethered together. Calmer in restaurants, not trying to get up and run around as much.
Jim M.
Yesterday, we went to an old car rally, which we never would have gone to before. When Blake’s not attached to Sam, Blake’s very hyperactive, always on the go. There was live music playing and we asked Blake to sit down, which he did—something he never would have done before. In the car, Blake chews on Sam’s tail, and Sam just lays there and watches him…Sam’s so gentle with Blake, it’s just wonderful. Within 2 weeks Blake was bonding with Sam, calling his name, refusing to get in the car to go bye-bye unless Sam was in the car.
