About 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with a terminal, debilitating muscle condition. I was given 5-7 years to live and a painful prognosis for that time. It was suggested that I acquire a service dog to assist me in daily activities. Through a miraculous act of fate, I found Pharaoh and a service dog training group. Pharaoh and I attended classes weekly and practiced every day to become a productive working team. With his intervention, I have been given a new life expectation of another 5-6 years. Woohoo! During training, Pharaoh revealed a compassionate, empathetic spirit. I developed a plan to utilize his skills to impact children's lives. Therefore we began volunteering at local grade schools. The students absolutely love him and visa versa. Pharaoh is truly a blessing to me and so many others. Sharing his talents and skills has been beneficial to me and our community. I look forward to sharing his adventures and compassionate spirit with you.
