Dexter was his constant companion and helper for almost ten years. Dexter came from Therapetics Service Dogs of Oklahoma, and Gary remained friends with Dex’s trainer through the years. Gary adopted Bruneaux and Bella from Animal Rescue New Orleans. He has been very close to many of the wonderful people he met through their adoption. They are now in the process of finding another loving home for these very special dogs.
