🌲🐾 PAWS IN THE PINES! 🐾🌲
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported our event this past Saturday, even in the rain.

Unfortunately, we got rained out just as the event was taking off but we were still able to collect some donations, raffle off some prizes, serve some hot dogs and pet some pups.

Every walk, purchase, raffle ticket, donation, and conversation helped support our mission of helping first responders and veterans with PTSD through our service dog program.

We’re so grateful for our vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and community for making the day possible. Mark you calendars for next year, Saturday September 25, 2027

Our vendors didn’t get the day they deserved so go ahead and reach out on social media and do some small business shopping! Each of them pours their hearts into their work and have great products, causes and trainings for you.

A SERVICE DOG ISN’T “JUST A DOG.” 🐕‍🦺

A service dog, wheelchair, walker, cane, oxygen tank, hearing aid, prosthetic, glucose monitor and other disability/medical aids may look completely different—but they can all serve an important purpose: helping someone with a disability live more safely and independently.

A wheelchair helps someone with mobility.
A walker provides stability and support.
A cane can assist with mobility, balance or navigation.
An oxygen system provides supplemental oxygen.
A glucose monitor helps someone manage their blood sugar.
And a service dog is individually trained to perform tasks that help mitigate their handler’s disability.

Of course, there is one BIG difference:

A service dog is a living, breathing animal—not a piece of medical equipment.

But that doesn't make their job any less important.

You wouldn't walk up and grab someone's wheelchair.
You wouldn't move someone's walker without permission.
You wouldn't play with someone's oxygen tubing.
You wouldn't take someone's cane because you thought it looked interesting.

So why is it considered acceptable to pet, call to, whistle at or intentionally distract someone's service dog?

That dog may be watching for a medical emergency, guiding someone who cannot see, retrieving necessary items, assisting with mobility, or performing another disability-related task.

🐕‍🦺 Different aid. Different function. Same basic concept: it is there to help that person safely navigate life with their disability.

Admire service dogs from a distance. Don't pet, call to, whistle at or distract them without the handler's permission.

Respect the dog. Respect the handler. Respect medical and disability aids—even when one happens to have four paws. ❤️

The impact of 9/11/2001 did not end when the smoke cleared. We honor those who served, those we lost, and those who still carry the weight of what they experienced.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Today, we join many across Minnesota in mourning the loss of Minnesota State Patrol Lieutenant Tyler Uthe who died by su***de yesterday.

Our hearts are with his family, friends, fellow troopers, and all those whose lives he touched throughout his years of service. Those who dedicate their lives to protecting others often carry burdens that are unseen by the public, reminding us that no one is immune to the invisible wounds of PTSD.

This loss is a painful reminder of why mental health awareness, peer support, and access to effective resources remain so important for first responders, veterans, and their families.

If you are struggling, please know that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You do not have to carry the weight alone.

Please keep Lieutenant Uthe's loved ones and the entire Minnesota State Patrol family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
