Holly 

Holly is a dog that my wife and I were training to be a service dog for Helping Paws. She was born in January of 2003. She now lives as a farm dog with our friend Steve.

Holly sleeps in a kennel.  I took this photo one morning when I noticed she was sleeping upside down with her nose pressed against the kennel door.  Despite how it looks, she actually likes sleeping in her kennel.

Holly joined me at the Helping Paws Run & Romp fundraising run in May of 2003.  It was a hot day and being a black dog, she looked for shade anywhere she could get it.  She quickly found out that laying underneath a wheelchair works quite nicely.
