Sassy & Jack 5 Months Later

Tomorrow marks 5 months since Sassy joined our family. Despite still very much being a puppy (she's 8 months now), she has matured (and grown!) beautifully and has solidified herself as a member of our family. We are just about complete with the second level of training and have been doing several "public access" outings this month and will continue next month.

We started to allow Sassy to sleep in Jack's bed (she already slept in her crate in Jack's room) and they have been bonding even more. Jack is becoming even more attached to her and I suspect as Sassy becomes closer to being a full-fledged sevice dog, she will be able to be there for Jack a lot more.

The journey has not been easy, but we have traveled it willingly and with much love. We thank God and our family every day for bringing Sassy to her boy, Jack, and into our hearts.

These photos were taken today, July 31, 2008.

My dog's name is Sassy as well, what a coincidence...I've always respected those amazing abilities animals seem to possess. I have a cousin with autism and the only thing he always seems to recognize and react to is his doggy. God bless little Jack and his companion

You did a nice job of capturing the many faces of Jack with Sassy. I love them all!
