Arrival Story: Joe became my hearing dog when I was only 15. We grew up together. Although he passed away August 4, 2002, he still holds a special place in my heart because he took such good care of me for 10 years as my ears and my best friend. The last 4 years of his life, he was unable to care for himself due to a stroke, so our roles were reversed. Many people tried to get me to put him to sleep, but the connection between a service animal and his person is very deep. After all he did for me, I owed it to him to take care of him. His last 4 years were spent lying on a pillow while his ever need and want was catered to.

Bio: Joe slowly turned the reigns over to Pepper as my hearing dog. He continued to respond to and alert me to sounds until he was sure Pepper was "up to par". Once he felt Pepper was able, Joe set back and enjoyed life. Also here, is a pic of Joe's buddy Taffy. Taffy is still with us and realy misses Joe....They were close pals.

Forums Motto: God giveth, he taken, he will restore
