Feature / “Ewok” & Fay

It was a crazy week here at Puppy Manners as we prepared for our son’s wedding last Saturday. In the middle of all the chaos, we encountered a moment of peace and joy when we received this postcard in our mailbox. It was from our friend and client, Fay, telling us that she and her sweet Labradoodle,  “Ewok”, had passed their therapy test with the Delta Society!

We first met Fay when she came to us with 9-week-old “Ewok” back in September, 2009. I noted “Ewok’s” disposition right away as he was drawn more to people than to other dogs, which usually means he or she is made for therapy! When I mentioned to Fay about the Reading with Rover program, a non-profit organization for children and literacy, she was immediately hooked on the idea! Fay and “Ewok” joined our Pup’prentice Project the following January and as of last month, they passed their test and are on their way to doing good in the community! Sadly, we won’t be around to see it in person, as Fay is originally from the UK and will be moving back overseas very soon. But we are so excited to hear about her and “Ewok’s” continued adventures and all the good they’ll do in her native land! We wish them luck with everything, but just look at them! I don’t think they’ll have any trouble, do you?!

We love stories like Fay’s and “Ewok’s” and will continue to share the success, love, and joy of our clients with all our blog readers! Stay tuned for more features like these in the near future!
