This is one of those stories that gets you right in the feels.
Frankie Mae. This young lady was let down by humans' time and time again. Adopted, returned, adopted, returned, rinse and repeat. Project Paws never gave up her, taking her back time and time again. Lora knew this black, tossed around dog had a bigger purpose.
She was right.
Last Friday Allison and I drove up to Washington Correctional Facility in Comstock NY and picked this girl up to begin her training as a hearing dog. This fall she will move to Fort Leavenworth Kansas and alert a retired Army veteran when people approach, call his name, or a fire alarm is going off.
This black dog, unwanted by so many, will change the life of one veteran and his wife. Offering them a level of independence they haven't had in a long time.
Any donation is appreciated to help get this girl home. Last stop, Kansas.
