Read about Bert & Ernie in the Mail Tribune (Medford, Oregon), 2 "Lucky Lethals" who found loving homes.  Lorraine Ayres of Aussielads, who has been in constant contact with Bert's Mom, Chris, offering support and advice, was interviewed for this article.  Way to go, Lorraine!

Arizona Republic

Dolci (both blind and deaf) gets a great write up in the AZ Republic after one of the judges (Scott Craven) at the AAWL Mutt Show saw her perform her tricks by touch.  She (her name was Breezy then) came to us many months ago from White Mountain, was fostered by Lorraine & Dave and adopted by Caitlin and Teresa.  Great story!
