Former ECAD student trainer FaTye hits the big stage
This is a quote from the below Rivertowns Enterprise article that shows exactly what kind of benefit can come from giving kids that dont always get a chance ..a chance...
"On Sunday, Feb. 12, the performance of “Big River” will benefit Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD), which FaTye was involved with during his time at CV. Lu Picard runs ECAD at Children's Village and worked with FaTye during his early days in Westchester. The program, she says, is designed to help both the dog and the trainer grow. While the animal builds the skills required of a service dog, the child develops a work ethic and sense of accomplishment."

Shiloh's Puppies
Christmas eve they started coming one by one all the way to thirteen healthy Dane/Lab puppies! With their skilled mid-wife Carrie by Shiloh's side over the course of a morning and afternoon these tiny lives with a bright future came into the world!
While momma Shy went out to stretch her legs, the first few puppies waited patiently in their basket for her to come back!
Lu Picard making sure that momma and babies are all doing well, also starting the puppies socialization with people.
A long day one for both Shiloh and the puppies, future service dogs ready for their first nights sleep!
