When I was a very young puppy, my mother, Matilda, told me that I was destined to have a very important job and help people. I didn’t know what she meant at the time, but it wasn’t long before I learned.


One day a blonde lady (her hair was the same color as mine), a tall man, and a blonde little girl came to see my brothers and sisters and me. We were all so cute, and each one of us had a chance to be held and cuddled. Laura, the lady in charge of everything; she was also the blonde lady’s friend, thought that I would be the best choice to help them! They needed help, and I was the most capable. Laura also said that I reminded her of a teddybear! That was all it took; the lady, the man, and the little girl knew they needed me! I still wasn’t sure what my job would be, but I knew it would be very important because I was special!



The blonde lady and the tall man came again a few weeks later, and I left with them this time. I knew they were the ones that needed my help more than anyone else. I liked them a lot, and they were thrilled with me. After all, I was so cute!
As time passed, I realized just how much my new mom and dad needed me and how much I loved them!



















I’ve only been caring for mom and dad for three years, but I’ve done my best job. I make sure that they get their exercise every day, either going on walks or chasing me, and I make sure they have lots to smile about and laugh over. If they’re anxious or upset, I try to sit real close so they’ll feel better. I love mom and dad, and they love me.
