Hailey's Award 5
Hailey was the dog from hell as a puppy and now she has become the light of so many people’s lives.  Through her therapy work she has been successful in getting stroke patients to react and move when physical therapy didn’t work, people to stand that never got out of a wheelchair, someone that had destitute news of their condition to light up like a Christmas tree, assist families at bedsides which not only helped the patient but also the families so much that they were talking about her at shiver calls.  Hailey is definitely a once in a lifetime dog!  She has done so much for so many and I am ever so grateful that she has graced my life.
