Thank you Bailey for being what was needed and making a difference in a young person's life. We celebrate you today for all the lives you've touched.
You will be missed.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sweet Bailey. When Elizabeth from Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs brought Bailey to our home in March of 2016, I could not have imagined the impact that she would have on our lives and hundreds of children, youth and adults. Whether it was at school, a hockey rink, a bingo, a grocery store, a coffee shop and yes, even at a funeral, Bailey always won over the room. I was grateful when my E.D Shawn Quigley at Youth Diversion was open to the idea of partnering with K4Paws and allowing Bailey to become my sidekick when I visited my schools. For a lot of young kids who had never met with a counsellor, Bailey was the perfect buffer. Of course, it was not long after that I became the side kick. I eventually got used to everyone greeting Bailey first with pets and then hearing “Oh, hi Dale” lol. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be able to witness all the joy that she brought to everyone each day. Her last year of retirement was spent having slow walks, lazy afternoons and snuggles. We would like to thank everyone from Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs, Youth Diversion, Limestone District School Board, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, Tamworth Veterinary Services - Dr Lori Forester, all her doggie sitters and Tola for all the support and love they gave Bailey over the years. She will be greatly missed.
Lisa, Liam, and Dale
