"Having the second leash for Caroline. I felt comfortable enough taking Caroline to that Easter egg hunt with just her me and Baldwin. Before having Baldwin, I would never take Caroline anywhere with just myself. I was terrified Caroline would run off and I wouldn't be able to catch her. Not only do I not have to worry about Caroline running off, but Baldwin listens so well and stays wherever I cue her so I know I don't have to worry about her running off either. Just SO much less stress for us all.”

Janine and SDV Heiser, Facility Dog

A patient with mental health struggles and chronic pain control challenges was having to undergo a procedure that was causing him significant anxiety at the hospital. I was able to take Heiser to stay with the patient in the pre-op area where he provided comfort and companionship during the time leading up to the procedure.”
