You are doing a wonderful service by raising Ruby, and other dogs like him. I have been a special ed teacher and now work as a Recreational Therapist. So, I have seen these dogs in action and how they change the lives of people with disabilities. Currently, I have several volunteer pet therapy teams that come to the facility I work in. The dogs always bring joy to the residents. In closing, I like all the photos on your blog. They tell the story!
