My name is Don Hills. I live in Zephyrhills, FL and come to New York to visit for the summer.   Due to Diabetes, I have lost the feeling in my legs and hands.  I have a hard time picking things up when I drop them.
                After hearing about Canine Helpers for the Handicapped, I applied to the school and was interviewed by Beverly and was accepted for the Canine Helpers’ program.
                Next, I was interviewed by several dogs and was picked by a beautiful Golden Retriever named Honcho.  Since completing my training at Canine Helpers, Honcho and I are a good working team.  Honcho picks things up for me, gets the cordless phone, opens doors and gets help if I need it.
                I thank Canine Helpers for my wonderful companion and great helper.

Thank you all!
