Meet Hazel

The Wonder (Service) Dog

  • Five Minutes In

    This picture is right before we left the MN farm. Hazel was already connected and right by Grump’s side.

  • The Intensity of The Wonder Dog

    This face - it says it all when the vest is one, keeping an eagle eye on the Grumps when she’s not right next to him (he was literally five feet away).

  • The Journey

    As the caregiving role changes, the love remains. I can’t even think of anything that I wouldn’t do for this guy.

  • Day Two - Learning Trust and Love

    Hazel and I both learning to trust - the love, the relationship, and the responsibility for the future.

  • Devotion: Grumps' Ride or Die

    People think training is all you need for service dogs - it’s so much more than that. Unconditional love is a necessity.

  • That Special "Other" Relationship

    Hazel developed such a special relationship - on her terms - with our older grandson. They were unseperable.

  • Those Eyes

    Those eyes - a direct reminder of the dedication and love to her people.
