Oh, Penny. From the day you and Anthony first met, July 5, 2014, to the day of your last breath, September 11, 2025, you were the perfect service dog. Sassy, smart, loyal, patient, loving..... You saved Anthony... Through you he found hope, love, and purpose. You then helped Anthony help countless others. Whether it was in a group therapy setting or a duck blind, your calm presence and kind heart brought hope and healing to hundreds. The very first L4L service dog - you showed us the way, exposing the good we could do through pups such as yourself. You were the foundation of our mission. How appropriate that you would pass on 9/11 - the fateful day that created what would be your purpose in life. Dear Pretty Gurl Penny Poo, we know you will be waiting, until we meet again.

September 11, 2001 - the day that would change our nation. Evil, pure evil, sought to kill and destroy. September 12, 2001 - Americans stood hand in hand, in solidarity, determined to exact justice for the atrocities committed. Evil, it is still lurking, pressing in, awaiting its opportunity. Let us stand united at we did then. We must Never Forget!

Have you forgotten - where you were as you watched smoke billow from the first tower - thinking what a tragic accident? Only to watch an airliner crash into the second tower - knowing this was no accident - we were under attack. Have you forgotten the live feed of people leaping to their deaths from the 86th floor to escape the heat and fire? Have you forgotten the flight that plowed into our pentagon? Have you forgotten the heroics of the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who fought back, costing them their lives but potentially saving thousands of others.

I have not forgotten. I remember where I was, what I was doing, and the moment I learned of each attack. I remember the unity of ALL Americans in the days and weeks to follow. I have not forgotten the innocent lost that day. I have not forgotten the brave who left our land to fight evil overseas. I have not, I will not forget. To forget is to dishonor, dismiss, disregard the loss and sacrifice. To forget is to open the door for history to repeat itself. Evil is alive, in our world, and in our country. Ask yourself, have you forgotten?

We Shall Choose Joy...

In 9 years we have had the joy of training over 140 pups for Veterans and Law Enforcement Officers. Unfortunately, with joy, there comes sorrow. In 9 years, we have suffered the loss of 11 of these amazing pups. Each of these pups was a hero. They listened, healed, helped, and loved unconditionally. With their warrior, they traveled the road of life, the highs being higher and the lows less deep and dark. They brought families together and enriched the lives of all they met. They epitomized what we like to call "the magic of the dog." Battle buddies, life changers, best friends, life savers.... every one of them completed their mission, leaving this world while their warrior chose to continue on. Many tears have been shed, there may have been anger at their being taken too young, but at the end of the day we will honor them...

We Shall Choose Joy...

People say, "but they are just dogs."

From Ethan - " I wanted to take a second and tell you how much of a game changer Semper has been already. I didn't really know what to expect, what the dynamic of a dog like this in my life would be. He's been with me pretty much 100% of the time since the first day of pairing out there, and since being home he has already began picking up on me incredibly. He's posting on his own without command, leans into me or licks my hand to let me know when someone's walking up from behind. A sketchy guy was walking up behind me and he stepped 10 ft in front of me and alerted, sending this guy packing. If he's not close by it feels like I'm missing something. He's become my best friend in a few short weeks and is unbelievably well behaved when he's working and phenomenal with the kids and the family. This is an indescribable experience and I just wanted to express my gratitude for all you and the rest of L4L have done and continue to do. Thank you so much."

Battle buddy, life changer, best friend, life saver. But never, "just a dog."
