My name is Mary Margaret. I am a Fidos client and was matched with my wonderful service dog, Butchie in January.  If Butchie could read, this is the letter I would write to him:

Dear Butchie:

Thank you for your never-ending patience, dedication, and love. No matter what struggles I am facing, day or night, you’re always ready & willing to assist me with my needs. You help me do those things I can no longer do for myself.  If I need help with removing my shoes, you are there.  When I drop something on the floor, I can count on you to retrieve it for me.  When I am unable to open the refrigerator door or cabinet, you open it for me. Thank your comfort and support when I’m not even aware of those times when I need it most. My love, appreciation and respect for you goes beyond words. With you by my side, I feel confident that I can live more INDEPENDENTLY. With you by my side, I feel like I’m a better person. I cherish every moment with you, and I look forward to our years together.
