On April 1, 2012, I got a spinal cord injury.  I asked about getting a service dog and the VA suggested Canine Companions for Independence.  I met with a group of Doctors who helped me get in contact with the Canine Companions.  After one year, Canine Companions called me to come visit their facility in Delaware, Ohio.  It was so exciting to actually see how the dogs do commands that would help me become more independent. 

The staff worked hard and matched me with Juju.  Juju has helped me in so many ways.  He picks up things constantly, helps with simple duties like opening doors, and he gives me so much love.  I feel so lucky to have him in my life.
