October 2019:
On October 3rd, Scout visited a special friend he made last year. This is the message this young man sent along to us. We are so blessed to have these dogs."Thank you so much for coming with scout. I will keep you and your mom, family in my thoughts and prayers, keep making people smile see you soon. You are welcome to come over any time. You and your family are lifelong friends. You have made my week better. Let your mom know that I got to see you, Scout."
Community Service is one of our many talents! We participate in Walks that support great causes like fighting and conquering Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Breast Cancer. We also spend time at sporting events. Recently, we were all at the High School Varsity Football Pink Out game, but we also individually go to other events like Volleyball, Hockey, Basketball and Baseball. Many times you will see us out in the community in the evenings and weekends.
September 2019:
We are so happy to be back at school with our students and staff! Our Pack spent the day together with our trainers and handlers for a refresher training. We are getting back into a routine, and loving all of the familiar and new faces we see everyday. We are making such a positive impact on students' success each and every day at school!

When Duncan is a special guest at our schools, amazing things happen! On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 he spent the day with Hornung students. Throughout the day he helped students who were having trouble staying on task by sitting with them while they worked, he helped students who were feeling sad and anxious by walking with them, he helped students increase their reading skills by listening to their stories and writing pieces, and he helped Mrs. Richards teach students how to find books in our online library catalog. We are so lucky to have him, and our other pups starting soon!
