Letters from the Inside, Sarah Pender, #8

Kelly,

Got some pictures & found a couple duplicated and thought you'd like them. Dewey is one o the dogs I trained at Rockville when I was in the ICAN Program. We train dogs to assist handicapped people, specifically children, using positive reinforcement methods. Some handicaps include cerebral palsy, MS, paralysis, seizures, old people w/physical limitations, or even severe depression. Some become therapy dogs, used for physical rehab-range of motion exercises. An excellent program. I was in it for two years at Rockville, while I also earned my BS in Business Management. I loved those dogs. And I loved learning. I was blessed with opportunities for a while. I look forward to new opportunities ahead.

I hope you are well. Take care.

Sarah
