Lisa's Story
I have been spending much of my time visiting hospitals, nursing homes, schools and malls as a Delta Society Therapy Team, along with my very gifted Standard Poodle, "Paris" I knew when my dog began to mature that something was special about her, so I had to explore a way to give back to the world the gifts that I have recieved in my life. Let me share with you the reasons.
On our way to Phoenix, Paris and I were changing planes in DFW airport, during a short layover. This airport is HUGE so we were confused and
walking pretty fast to get to the next flight. Paris is always so great at walking with me perfectly, but suddenly she stopped and pulled as hard as she could to the side. I couldn't go on because she was pulling so hard. Finally I turned around to see why she was doin...Expand for more
g this and she was staring as a woman sitting alone waiting for a different flight. When I looked at the woman she held out her hand to Paris and Paris took off towards her. There were thousands of people in this huge airport but only one that Paris focused on.
When Paris reached the woman with her outstretched arms, she put her hands on Paris' head and broke down crying. I was at a loss for anything to say. The woman looked up and said to me, "Yesterday my 10 year old standard poodle dropped dead on the grooming table with no warning at all." Tears streamed down her cheeks as she held Paris, and she thanked us for helping her get through the day. How on earth does a dog know??? This isn't the first time she's done this.
And this is the reason I'm so blessed to share my dog.
