In his eyes, he is helping us. :)\r\n\r\nDog food is expensive, and your support helps relieve that pressure. The lint rollers we were able to purchase also means that staff and students can love on him as much as they want and not worry about walking around with fur all over them.\r\n\r\nThere are so many ways in this world where people can show their support.
