Album: Holly
Holly, a black Labrador Retriever, came to our home in March, 2003. My wife and I were training her to be a service dog for Helping Paws. After a year and a half of training, it was decided to withdraw her from the training program due to some allergy and fear concerns. She was placed as a pet with a good friend of mine who owns a small horse farm. She now spends her days chasing the horses and lounging in the shade of seven acres of pasture.
