A heartfelt message from Courtney

Dakota received a wonderful letter from Courtney who wanted "to say a big THANK YOU to all of the wonderful puppy raisers out there who give their homes and hearts to creatures who they know will leave someday". Her guide dog Kazzi, was specially trained to walk on Courtney's right side since Courtney has cerebral palsy as well as blindness. "She is the most wonderful thing in my life, and she would not be the way she is without her wonderful puppy raisers". February 2005. http://www.seedakota.com/puppy/index.htm
