I read this on a flyer at Planet Dog and it had me in tears. If you have any extra fund please consider donating them!
In Milo's Memory
www.giveforward.com/inmilosmemory
I had the fortune of being partnered with my service dog and friend Milo in 2007. We enjoyed four wonderful years together, and I got to feel his love as well as his support.
I have autism, and Milo was an extraordinary help in my daily life. He knew how to apply deep pressure when my body was going into overload, respond to loud/high pitched noises which hurt me by nudging me, intelligent disobedience- not letting me leave without important items such as my keys, getting help when needed, and he was learning how to lead me to an exit when I go into sensory overload.
Due to increasing toxins in his liver, Milo was permanently relieved of duty in September of 2011. I am trying to raise money in his memory for a successor service dog from a non-profit organization called ACTS. With the costs of the program training, transportation, lodging, and other costs, I am raising $5,000.
