Hi David,

I don't know what schools are in Florida, but Paws with a Cause, in
Michigan, does provide dogs like this.  You can also try Canine Companions
for Independence, which is based in California, but they have other
locations as well..
hth,
Caitlyn

and may be wheel chair bound if she cannot find a school that provides dogs
for physical support.  She is concerned that a lab or golden might be too
attractive for her young son to be able to handle interference from
strangers.
