DeSoto News!!

Today I got an e-mail. I was about my boy! DeSoto has been matched with a person named Seth Wilson, 28 of Venice Beach, California. I am very happy he contacted me. He seems very nice. He thanked me for spending last year raising his 'angel.' He seemed very grateful for DeSoto and making his dream come true. He said he made the choice to trade his white cane in for a four legged bundle of fur. He described DeSoto as inquisitive, slightly mischievous personality paired with an amazingly strong work ethic and a huge heart. That`s DeSoto! I am so happy that he wants to stay in touch with me through out their journey together! I can`t wait till graduation to meet Seth and see my boy in harness. He also attached a picture of him and DeSoto. He looks bigger and mature from when I said goodbye in August.
