Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay.		For those of you who don't know, my wife Debbie works as a Physical Therapist for some great people, who have 9 fully staffed private homes for head injured people. Young people and old people alike who have been in car or other type accidents mostly, and even a couple Irag war veterans who had the misfortune to be to close to a road side bomb. The wife has often taken our adult Labradors over for a visit at their recreation center, so taking the pups over was a given before some of them left for their new homes. I'll admit, at first I was a bit apprehensive about some of the limited abilities of these people for lifting and holding our little angles. But I was almost moved to tears seeing how extra gentle and happy these special people were to be around these pups. Here's some pics.

Now THAT is what it's all about. Thanks for sharing, WE. Something about puppy breath that brings out the smiles in all who breathe it.

Location: LaCrosse, WI		Dan,

My wife also works in therapy and I would love to be able to do something like that for the people she works with. One of the best parts of this whole experience for these people will be that they may remember it more than many of the negative experiences that caused them to have their head traumas.

I've found that when working with people who have had TBI's (tramattic brain injuries), experiences like that are the ones they regard the most. I commend you and your wife for putting these people first and for realizing that something as simple as seeing a puppy may make their day/week/month/year.

Thanks to you and your wife.

That's great! I love the last pictures the most...showing them all wiped out. lol

Thanks for sharing those Capt.! That was a nice thing your family did for all those people.

Who wouldn't love to see and hold a puppy? (I absolutely love puppy breath too!)
