Welcome to our journey! This website chronicles the adventure of raising and training Lyric, a spirited English Cream Golden Retriever puppy with a big future as a mobility service dog. From the first wag of her tail to her mastery of service tasks, we share the triumphs, challenges, and heartfelt moments along the way.

Let’s walk this path together, one paw step at a time!
