Graduation day!

The day everyone has been waiting for is finally here: Graduation day. As The graduates patiently waited to be recognized for all their hard work for the past two weeks (for some, the past few months), and to be reunited with their dog, stories were told of the many differences the the dogs have made in the lives of the recipients in just a short period of time (some listed in previous blog posts). Smiles, laughter and tears were shared as the graduates received their new dogs. Despite the rain you could tell by the look on the kid's faces that they couldn't be more happy. All and all, today was a wonderful day for all who made the trip to the Schmidt Family Vineyard to enjoy the wonderful recognition of all the graduates and their new canine angels.

For those of you who couldn't make it to graduation here is a list of the graduates. Ladies and gentlemen, the graduating class of 2012:
