Wolfie - A letter from Wolfie's owner!
Dear Christopher,
I am writing to extend a heartfelt thank you for our beloved Husky, Wolfie, who has been a continuous source of love, pride, and esteem for my son Christopher.
Please know Christopher had been asking for a dog for well over a year. Since he was only eight, I did not put a lot of hope in adopting a dog Christopher could manage independently enough to give him the sense his dog was truly “his dog”. Also, to make his request more difficult, he specifically asked for a Husky; I thought the size of a Husky alone would be impossible for Christopher to manage. Unable to find a gentle way to tell him why we could not own one, I told him I would think about it.
SSDART brought Christopher’s hope and dream to fruition. We adopted a gorgeous Husky from you whose behavioral and temperament assessment was thorough and precise; Wolfie is the wonderful dog we were told he was. He is consistently gentle, meek, and playful. Christopher is able to walk Wolfie on a leash in the school yard and in the neighborhood safely and confidently. He has trained Wolfie to sit, stay, and come, and rewards Wolfie with treats out of his palm, trusting in Wolfie’s mildness.
I realize one of SSDARTS’ goals is to rescue animals, but many people benefit from the ongoing dedication and care you extend. Thank you for an absolutely spectacular and loving dog and for giving my son a cherished companion and friend
Gratefully,.
