It's been a year, and I'm not going to pretend it doesn't still hurt. Instead I will honor his life and his sweet spirit. He was only a few weeks from graduating as a service dog for a disabled veteran when he was cruelly snatched from this world. It was a honor to have a hand in coaching him and to support @semperk9 assistance dogs. If you would like to donate to this very worthy cause please go to their website www.semperk9.org or message me. #semperk9secho #servicedog #workingdog #pittielove #veteranshelpingveterans #volunteer #notenoughtime #honorvets #semperk9 (at Semper K9 Assistance Dogs) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFdYlVn6xI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zmlyjxesptf6

My beautiful girl headed back to school today...yes I'm joining the hoards sharing those #backtoschool pics. But look at these two! 😍 Unfortunately she doesn't get to take #semperk9secho with her. He is doing much better though, so on with his service dog training! 😊 And I get him all to myself while she's at school.... #sdit #semperk9

This guy has learned so much self control, even in the toy aisle! #semperk9secho #semperk9 #veteranshelpingveterans #sheltertoservice #servicedogs

He knows he's not allowed in my recording studio, but when I'm training or editing my door's open and he gets as close as he can! Thanks for the great webinar @gravyforthebrain We're both in training! 😂🐕🎖♥ #dogtraining #semperk9secho #voiceover #gravyforthebrain #getthejobdone #veteranshelpingveterans #dog #dogrescue #servicedogs #sdit

Being a service dog in training is hard work! Time for a puppy nap while I do some editing. #semperk9 #semperk9secho #servicedog #veteran #voiceoverlife #lillianrachelvo
