“My service dogs have helped me realize who I am as a person. Hudson made me brave. Geiler made me fun. And Data made me affectionate. They allowed me to chase my dreams.”
“Now I can sleep knowing Holiday will wake me from nightmares, and she has even reduced the frequency of my flashbacks.”
“I can’t remember what life was before Rupert, because he has taken every aspect of our life and made it so much better for Ellie."
Canine Companions graduation ceremonies honor people with disabilities placed with expertly trained service dogs nationwide. This celebration marks the end of a service dog’s professional training and the beginning of a partnership between a human and a canine that will provide endless service and companionship. Graduations are open to the public and a wonderful event you won’t forget.
