Service Dog Makes the Impossible Possible

The support of a service dog can make things that seem impossible, possible. Jennifer Jones shared how her service dog, SSD Cooper, has helped her reach goals she once thought were impossible:

“SSD Cooper and I snowshoed to the Sugar House from the base lodge. I was FINALLY able to be in the middle of the mountain and watch people ski! I’ve wanted to do this for years, but the only way to get there was to ski. Cooper has helped me do things that I never thought possible. What a blessing he is!”
