Vests for Valor

One of our teachers is a puppy raiser for K9s for Warriors.  She has had Valor for nearly a year and as part of the training Valor goes everywhere with her - even school!  The kids in her class have become very attached to Valor and she really is part of the class.

Valor is 2nd from the left - black lab, red vest!

Valor is one-year-old now and will soon start the next stage of training and then be matched up with a warrior.  Also school is nearly over.  The teacher wanted to give the kids a lasting reminder of Valor so she ordered little stuffed chocolate lab puppies.  

I offered to make little service vests for the puppies.  Thankfully they turned out simpler than I first envisioned.  No buckles or straps.  Just a band with her name that velcros on.

Little S insisted it be removable for better play options.  She has dog napped the sample!  

Isn't she cute!

 I am honored to have had a small part in the impact Valor has had and will continue to have in people's lives.  

The real Valor is even cuter!
