with energy and a really positive attitude. Mary has a

those long days as we started out. It was obvious that Lauren
loved Mary right from the start—they were buddies—and all
was going well. But as dogs will do, Lauren started to test her
new mom to see if she would “really” make her do things.
Mary got tired—dog training is hard work—and there were
some days during that third week that they really struggled—
with fatigue, frustration, and tears. Lauren really didn’t want
to retrieve that metal lion or the reacher, and she was sure
she couldn’t carry a bag. Well, that just won’t work, because
Mary loves to shop! So they upped the ante and changed to
“good” treats like Pup-Peronis, and things got easier. (It’s
easier to work when you have the right motivation!) They

when her foot got caught going down the hill at the zoo—
and with his help, she stayed upright. They took on a huge
set of steps at the train station—twice! This girl has no fear.
Nothing will stop these two, and without a doubt, they’ll be
keeping each other—and everyone around them—laughing!
KENDRA AND LINTON
Team training started off a little rocky for these two. The
rental car arrangement didn’t work out, Deborah had a
horrible head cold and—on top of it all—was recovering
from a broken foot. She told us that while she needed
McGovern for support walking, what she needed most
was for him to prevent her extremely dangerous
sleepwalking. Her doctors were panicked that she
could ignore all alarms and locks and go walking,
unconscious, on streets for hours at a time. She told us

he was her "last hope," which brought fear and pain to all
of us—and everyone wondered—could he keep her safe?
And what would she do if her last hope didn’t work?
Right off the bat, Deborah started walking more safely
with McGovern’s support. Although the steps were hard
(and it hurt), they got down them safely and with
increasing ease. As soon as she was able to take
him home after that first week, we waited to hear if he
had stopped her sleepwalking. The report of their first
evening’s sleep wasn’t good. Although he had slept on
her bed, Deborah had gotten up to walk anyway—and

Rita has been a regular at CPL for quite some time as she’s
waited to get her partner. She just knew that Britt was
going to help her become more physically independent,
and she hoped that she would also help her with
her fears, especially of being in public. Those fears
almost took over on one of the first days: Rita felt so
overwhelmed by the scope of what she was about to
enter that she almost threw in the towel. We’re so glad
that she didn’t; after that, these two just danced to the
finish line—quite literally—because each time they
accomplished a new task, Rita and Britt would begin
dancing around. During the game of musical sacks, the
two of them were having so much fun dancing to the
music that they didn’t even mind when they missed the
mat and were out—they just kept on dancing! Britt has a
beautiful collar collection—yes, a collection! Their trip to
Philadelphia was practice, as they live there; for example,
they practiced opening the actual door that Rita uses to
enter the Reading Terminal Market for shopping. They’ll
now be able to walk from their home to the market,

Gayle was the cheerleader
for this class—always willing to encourage her classmates onward and through difficult times, even though
she had to fight incredible fatigue and pain to get
through the three weeks herself. These two were
destined to be together: with Hudson’s gentle nature,
he is a wonderful partner for someone who battles
extreme pain. He was patient as Gayle worked through
the logistics of how to incorporate a dog into her daily
activities. They live here in Pennsylvania, where Gayle
will tackle the second half of her law degree on a parttime college schedule—she hasn’t been able to do that
because of the medical difficulties. But with the fatigue
and pain reduced through Hudson’s help, we’re thinking
they’ll do that and so much more.

by quoting a song which goes, “I am a promise, I am a

“I,” because it was with Samson by her side that this was
