Meet Atticus

As most of you know, I lost my beloved Paz on May 31, 2016.  Paz was my BFF and my 4 legged hero who helped the youngest crime victims testify.   Yesterday, my new australian labradoodle was selected by an evaluator as being an amazing candidate to continue Paz's wonderful work with young crime victims.  Meet Atticus...he is a large standard size labradoodle puppy who i will fly with my grand daughters to North Carolina to pick up on November 12.   I am beyond in love and I know my beautiful Paz's gentle spirit will be guiding us all the way.

Thank you so very much.  I will keep you all updated as the puppy antics begin....I can't wait.

Thrilled. Just thrilled!

Thank you...your support and kindness throughout this emotional journey has been invaluable.  I can't wait to hold this boy in my arms.  He will be getting a huge welcome by my colleagues at the Family Justice Center who are literally over the top with excitement.  Losing Paz devastated everyone, so this little guy will be so very welcome and loved.

What a gorgeous boy, Charlotte. Congratulations! Do you know what characteristics he showed that led the breeder to believe he would make a good therapy dog? It's interesting, my Wally does therapy work, but that would have been hard to predict based on some of his antics as a puppy!
