May 2010:    Whiskey  

Gavin's story:

Gavin and his brother have been in speech therapy for about 10 months for speech delay.  We adopted Whiskey in early November from Gold Ribbon Rescue.  Gavin bonded immediately with him and would watch my husband and i doing commands throughout the day (sit, lay, eat, take, down, wait, etc).  Within a week, Gavin was using these commands with him as well.  About two weeks after that, we noticed Gavin going from 2-3 words to 5-6 word sentences.  Both his preschool teachers and therapists came to us without us prompting them.  It's been a little over two months, Gavin has been released from speech therapy and talks all day!  He and Whiskey especially have a special connection.  Whiskey sleeps beside Gavin's door, allows him to go down the stairs first, and loves all the hugs he gets throughout the day:)
