This page is dedicated to Ben, My Courage and Friend CD, TC, CKC aka Ben

Ben is the founder of 4 Paws For Ability and worked as a service dog for 8 years before loosing a year long battle with Degenerative Mylopathy. Read more about Degenerative Mylopathy here http://www.mzjf.com/main.htm and you can read Ben's official story here http://www.4pawsforability.org/ben.htm Ben lived and worked with Karen. Piper and I wish that we had met Ben but he passed away long before we got here. We have seen pictures though and let me tell you, he was as big as we are small. He was regal, sleek, black, and noble. We are told that the spirit of Ben watches as every child meets their service dogs for the first time and as they graduate. He should be proud! He is responsible for the creation of generations of hope and love in each service dog who graduates. Please take time to read about Ben on his page. We take a moment of silence each day in memory of Ben. I know we could never walk in his paw prints (well I guess we would fit all 8 of our joint feet into one of his foot prints) but we try to keep Karen's heart as happy as he made her!

The Heavens looked down upon my life and saw my suffering.
The spirits in all their wisdom could not end them for it was not within their power.
As I prayed for death, the heavens opened up,
and into my life came
love, courage, protection,
a friend, a confidante, a partner in life.
He is the most beautiful soul I have ever seen,
and I call him, Ben

The heavens looked down upon his life and saw his suffering.
The spirits in all their wisdom could not end them for it was not within their power.
They knew he must be set free.
The heavens opened up,
and into my life came courage -
Yes, a mighty courage,
for I was the only one who could free him.
He was the most beautiful spirit I have ever known,
and I called him Ben.

PIPER

Okay, so I am not really in training but this is MY web site and a girl just has to show off when she gets a new dress, right? Don't you? Bet you can't wait to get home from the store and try the new clothes on so someone can see you! So, I don't do those AKC shows anymore, I have to keep up my skills. You never know when I might decide to go out for America's Got Talent, American Idol, or the Miss America pageant! I am sure you would text in your vote for me and with America behind me there is no telling how far I can go!!!! They will be starting a Piper Fan Club and it all started here!

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then...............you are probably a dog.
