One of our teachers is a puppy raiser for
K9s for Warriors. She has had Valor for nearly a year and as part of the training Valor goes everywhere with her - even school! The kids in her class have become very attached to Valor and she really is part of the class.

Valor is 2nd from the left - black lab, red vest! |
Valor is one-year-old now and will soon start the next stage of training and then be matched up with a warrior. Also school is nearly over. The teacher wanted to give the kids a lasting reminder of Valor so she ordered little stuffed chocolate lab puppies.
I offered to make little service vests for the puppies. Thankfully they turned out simpler than I first envisioned. No buckles or straps. Just a band with her name that velcros on.
Little S insisted it be removable for better play options. She has dog napped the sample!

Isn't she cute! |
I am honored to have had a small part in the impact Valor has had and will continue to have in people's lives.

The real Valor is even cuter! |
