Harold was assigned to my brother Casey, as a mobility dog as well as to help with PTSD—but Harold did so much more. He was a companion, a best friend, a guiding light in night terrors, an life raft in the depths of deep darkness, a comedian, a savior for my mom and I when Casey’s short life came to an end too soon. He has been a living link to Casey these long nine year without him…and we are forever grateful to America’s Vet Dogs for bringing Harold to our lives.

Harold will be 14 in April, and is in the last chapter of life. We know the lives of dogs are short, and they teach us unconditional love, but we are already heartbroken at the thought of life without him. It means Casey is gone when Harold leaves us. Therefore we must keep saying Harold and Casey’s names to keep their memories alive.
