Tonya, that is truly amazing! I bet your mother loves working with these special people.

I have been around some of these special people myself and worked with some of the younger ones, the ones in special resourses at school, and at the high school. The oldest one I worked with was a 23 year old girl. She was wonderful and funny. I loved her, she would giggle and say she was boy crazy! I would laugh at her and tell her you better stay away from them boys.

Tonya, that would be such a good thing for these very special people, at least having dogs visit them, that would give them so much joy. I suppose there might be some that wouldn't like dogs. I had a friend that worked with the older one like your mother that actually beat her up pretty bad. But it is a very worthwhile cause.

I think your idea is a great one!
