At LZPAH we are privileged to be included in the lives of our pet owners beyond an annual exam or emergency visit. We have built lasting relationships which have afforded us the opportunity to share in their triumphs from birth announcements to job promotions to quitting smoking as well as to support them in times of trouble such as the loss of a parent or the sudden illness of a family member. The trust engendered to us by our Frisco friends and neighbors is awe inspiring at times. I am going to share with you one of our client’s stories as her achievement culminates today and is a symbol of lasting love and sacrifice.
“The Preliminary Match was made today!!! I got the call I was waiting for from Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) this morning…Helper was [preliminarily] matched to be a Facility Dog! It is considered preliminary because Helper’s new partner will spend 24 hours a day with her from today until next week’s graduation. This Tuesday CCI will tell me if the match “held” over the weekend. I am thrilled about her match because Helper is a very social dog and these jobs will give her a chance to touch many people every day!
Additionally, at the end of a work day she will go home with her partner to a family… who lives on 110 acres with horses, goats, chickens etc. Helper hit the puppy lottery!”
