Victory's Dubh Mac Tire, CGC(Wolf) 01/23/05-03/28/2007,lost to PAA/EPI Codie my Golden ----- Original Message ---- From: "VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx" <VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; gsdshowlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:10:06 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Hero dog nominee's owner murdered I'm sorry to report such a terrible thing ,but Terri Werner,formerly from the Northwest,who moved to Boston,MA., was stabbed to death by a former student of the Perkin's School for the Blind. Garnet,her dog,is nominated for the GWA Hero Dog, Terri originally bought Garnet,when she had been hurt, and needed the dog to assist in helping her walk. After Terri's full recover, Garnet needed a job to do,so both started doing volunteer work at a local nursing home. Then Terri started working at the Perkin's School for the Blind. Since Garnet had passed the AKC Good Citizen test and the AKC Temperament test, Terri thought it would be nice to have Garnet work with the students. It turned out to be a remarkable success , with Garnet showing instincts that she hadn't been trained for--like detecting seizures on students,before they had them. Garnet was loved by all the students,and was given three awards by the school for the amazing influence and help the GSD gave the students. Garnet was on the verge of retiring after seven yrs of work,but at 10 yrs of age still spent two days a week working. Not much information on Terri. If interested,check on Google with Terri Werner This was a student who had graduated from the school, now living on his own,and friends with Terri & Garnet. Dalene McIntire alerted me to this . I'm still in shock Helen Miller Fisher **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
