She also thought a dog might I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”-a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” your kind donation!
