When Kaden was little, he got bit by a dog and it made him terrified of them fro a while. We found Daisy at a shelter in Rock Springs, WY. She was 5yrs old at the time and calm as could be. Kaden really liked her and was comfortable around her. She has helped him get over his fear of dogs and remember how much he loves animals altogether. Daisy has always been gentle with the kids no matter how much they pestered her. She was great in the river retrieving ducks for me and Kaden too. The whole family really liked this dog. Well, we buried her today. Not a good day.
