Which service dog organization did Tella graduate come from?
There are so many amazing organizations raising purposeful pups, a great resource to learning about then can be found here. Tella came from Canine Companions for Independence, one of the oldest and largest service dog organizations in the United States; I’m incredibly proud of their work and still volunteer with them regularly. This book and website however are not “official” publications from this organization so I wanted to be respectful of their logo and colors and have blurred & blacked out Tella’s cape color in most locations.
Tella’s journey and training program also have many similarities to other service dog programs and I hoped that taking this approach would connect with, honor, and hopefully inspire the many different communities raising purposeful pups.
