Meet Patrick and Canine Companions Service Dog Julio
To eight-year-old Patrick, attending the Kansas City Chiefs training camp each year is an absolute dream. Patrick is a dedicated Chiefs fan, and it brightens his day every time his team wins.
But Patrick’s love of football extends beyond the field. While Chiefs training camp is fun to attend, it also holds a special place in his heart because that’s exactly where he was the day he learned he’d been approved to receive a Canine Companions service dog.
“We were super excited,” says Brie, Patrick’s mom. “The first thing we did was head over to the Chiefs gift shop and pick out a dog bandana.”
