NEWS

On Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Oso was shot by some criminal, who lives in the city of Flora, Illinois. Oso was rushed to the Veterinary Clinic in Flora, Illinois. After Doctors determined her stable, she was rushed to the University of Illinois Veterinary Clinic in Champaign, Illinois. There she received specialized care and her wound was treated. She had a rough few days. In pain and throwing up constantly, but with medicine and care she slowly recovered.  She is at home now, she is starting to be her loving playful self again. The incident was reported to police, but we do not think they will do much. It is quite a set back for this special dog. Just after passing her Canine Good Citizen test. We will continue to train Oso. Getting her to be a good service animal.I hope some day to find the criminal who shot her.

Update on Oso:

Oso has fully recovered from her injuries. We are continuing her training. We thank all her doctors that provided the care necessary for a full recovery and continue her fruitful life. We are very grateful.
