CCI is such a WONDERFUL organization that I've had the pleasure of volunteering for for the last 9 months. Seeing these dogs go from puppies to highly trained assistance dogs is so gratifying! I am someone with a disability who has the ablity to do things that many others don't, so by working with this organization brings such joy. You can find out about different fundraising events (where you will see many pups in training) by going to the website in the video.

These dogs are so cool. I think it's great that people train these dogs to help others that need it. It also serves a pal/ companion?
