[NAGDU] NEW PUPPY!

[Danielle Sykora]

Abby,

Ellie sounds like such a smart little puppy. Bonnie definitely didn't
learn that quickly, but then again, she was only 10 weeks when we got
her. I've recently gotten to spend some time with two handlers and
their psychiatric medical alert dogs on campus and I find their jobs
very interesting! Good luck with Ellie's training.
