## Caption

Aadi has cerebral palsy, which affects his mobility and daily life. Recently, Aadi’s art teacher asked the class to paint what friendship means to them. Without hesitation, he chose to paint Dozer. With some help, he painted an outline of a black Labrador, but something was missing. So, Aadi added bright colors, making the painting uniquely his own. 🎨🖌️ 

When he got home and showed his parents his painting, they told him: “Dozer’s
your boy, and although the rest of us see him as all black, you can see his colorful soul! Of course, Dozer has all the colors in this world!” 

Beyond unconditional love, Dozer is Aadi’s constant helper – retrieving toys, removing socks and assisting around the house. But most of all, they’re best friends. Dozer never leaves Aadi’s side, whether during stretches, therapies or bedtime. 

Canine Companions has been making matches like Aadi and Dozer possible for decades. But for those still waiting, every day without a #servicedog is a day without the enhanced independence, confidence and companionship they need.

🐕‍🦺 Right now, more than 500 children and adults with disabilities are waiting for a life-changing service dog.
