Toby and Charmaine were awarded the "Reese Award"!

Toby and Charmaine were awarded the "Reese Award" by the CHIMO Animal Assisted Therapy Project in appreciation of volunteer service. This award is named after Reese, a Great Pyrenees who was a certified animal therapy dog with CHIMO and volunteered at Alberta Hospital Edmonton for two years before he passed away from bone cancer. Reese made an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.
