One of our group members has become involved with (and adopted a dog from) an organization called, "Angel Service Dogs" that provides and trains dogs to respond to and alert to the scent of a particular allergen. They have been featured on several national broadcasts including NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

It is my hope that once our member's dog has completed his training, she will bring it to one of our meetings so we can see him in action!
