During my three years I had the pleasure of meeting Tori and Carol. Tori is a firefighter and also the owner of Chloe, the redheaded sassy border collie. Carol is a service dog trainer and currently training Polo, Marco’s (Abby’s service dog in training) twin brother. These two women have made my three years enjoyable and very interesting.
Tori is a bucket of fun and has been an amazing trainer to her dog Chloe. For crying out loud Chloe is our demo dog for service. She picks things up, runs through the agility course like the wind and most importantly, is Michael’s favorite. If anyone gets injured *cough*ME*cough* she will be there to patch us *cough*MOSTLYME*cough* up. She is very dedicated to the helping out at the rescue and even when she has an off day from her already stressful job, she will come to help us out on a huge project.
Carol is a sweetheart and a very sassy woman. I’m sure if there wasn’t a language or distance barrier her and my grandmother would be besties. She has trained a number of service dogs from the rescue and now is training Polo. From being around her and talking to her she has always been a strong person to me. She will always be strong in my eyes, especially now that she is waging a war against cancer. Carol has always been dedicated to the cause of training our rescues or donated dogs. I’m glad to see her dog Ace, the one previous to Polo, was placed with a girl who was deaf.
I’ve had my best memories with these two and my prayers especially go out to Carol. If you can train and handle stubborn dogs she can definably kick this cancer in the butt!
Thank you everyone and I hope you all have an inspiring summer. :)
