Photos: Raising pups for service and animal assisted therapy work

We are raising these pups for service and animal assisted therapy work. An ADA service is like an extension of a persons health care. Marqus will use one of them for balance and mobility , to bring him his medicine bag and hopefully open the door for the paramedics. A true service dog performs specific tasks to aide the disabled handler. An animal assisted therapy dog may visit schools nursing homes provide comfort. The difference is the ADA dog is allowed in places where regular dogs may not go. They all are working dogs and will have hundreds of hours of training. Our dogs know when he is ill and they sense the onset of a crash. I've watched them follow him from space to space they will not leave his side . Last week they all tried to sit on his lap they knew he was headed into a crises. Dogs have a keen sense of smell. These guys have been trained not to touch his medical supplies. The one year old is still working on that. But they know if the condition of his wounds change or if a new type of dressing ointment etc is in place. They amaze me at hoe careful they can be with there great size.

Finally some relief from pain just finished 2 more units of blood . Marqus is breathing a bit better. It's really great to see him sleep. I'm so grateful today for his hyperbaric wound devices and all the hard work the ICU nurses, RTs, doctors and everyone to relieve his suffering. Edward Hospital in Naperville takes excellent care of him. Thank you everyone for your prayers your like of this FB page His dream is to finish this documentary and it will happen.
