Confined to a wheelchair and reliant on a respirator, Karen Shirk set out to get a service dog so she could be more independent — but agencies turned her down, saying she was too disabled for a dog to make a difference in her life. Frustrated, Shirk eventually decided to obtain a dog on her own. She found Ben, a black German shepherd puppy that, with the help of a trainer, became her service dog. With Ben by her side, Shirk regained a sense of optimism and control over her life. Today she is the Executive director of nonprofit 4 Paws for Ability and has helped partner service dogs with people with a wide range of disabilities.

I was impressed with his memory, and his suggestions about how to pray and memorize the rosary the best. Find information about the National Catholic Register at www.ncregister.com
