Top Dog - Fall 2004

I think Andy, our 10-year-old mixed lab, is a Top Dog because he is my best friend. We have been together since we were both babies. One of the many things Andy has helped me with was learning to walk. Due to Down syndrome, I was delayed in many areas. With the help of his tail, Andy gently led me around the house and I became a walker. Andy has always been very patient with me and is by my side at all times. He is the best dog a family could have!
