My training and therapy dog family has suffered a great loss. Tom Grates and Odin were one of my graduates from my first Therapy training class. Tom was very active with the veterans and took Odin on visits. I Will miss being at the Tarentum Night Markets with him and Tracy Grates. I am very thankful for getting to know him, Tracy Grates and their dogs Odin and Freya!
