jack gets a dog

Today Quinny and I headed over to Fry's Marketplace in Gilbert to watch a public ceremony where Jack received an assistance dog from Canine Assistants.  Fry's and Milk-Bone are providing the funds for the dog.  He won't actually get his dog for awhile, but there was a spokesdog there as well as a woman who has had the dog helping her for many years.  Jack is Paul (Robert's brother) and Erin's boy.  In addition to having autism, Jack has had seizures since he was a baby.  These dogs are incredible and Jack's dog is going to be such a benefit to him and his family.  I am so excited for Jack and co.  Quinny was pretty excited as well.  She got to pet the dog that was there and asked if she could get a dog.  Then she wanted to go to Jack's house.  

If you look closely, you can see the dog on the ground next to the woman in the wheelchair.  The dog has on a pink ribbon.  It was a beautiful yellow lab and was really making me want a dog to take home.
