He told her to try something like writing. She did but found training her standard poodle to become a therapy dog was working fine. She could take her to hospitals and nursing homes and forget the pain. Then after ten years, her dog died so she gave writing another try. It worked. She graduated high school in upstate New York and then went to FIT in Manhattan. She lives with her husband of fifty-four years and has two sons and four granddaughters.
