Hi everyone and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets. Today I have with me one of my favourite people and member of the National Service Dog family. I met Kat Anderson a few years ago when I partnered with National Service Dogs for fundraising and found that a working service dog was in my area from NSD. Kat’s son Atlas is on the autism spectrum and they had a service dog named Harris who is a yellow lab. Kat’s family’s story with NSD and Harris is quite something and I will let her fill everyone in on that but more importantly, Harris had to retire so what happens then? Well Kat is here to share with us that journey. Thanks for listening! Please remember to follow or subscribe to ensure that you never miss an episode.
