my goal is to provide a quality treatment program for this greatly

Danny
Woof, My Name is Danny. Carol adopted
me from Fidos For Freedom, an assistance
dog training organization in Maryland.
I was trained for two years to be
a dog to help people with disabilities,
but I had to leave the program because
sometimes I don’t like to be
around other dogs. I’m lucky
though because I love to be around
people and Carol brings me to work
every day! I help just a little around
the office (since I already know how!)
so please ask before you distract
me from my job! But, if I’m
not doing anything, I really want
to be petted by you! If I bark, I’m
just happy to see you. If you’re
allergic to me or you don’t
like dogs, I understand. Just tell
a Lymflo Therapies employee and we’ll
accommodate your needs. I’m
so happy to meet you!
