The Denver, Colorado Challenge Air Fly Day is a program that gives children with disabilities the opportunity to fly an airplane. For most of these kids it is truly an experience of a lifetime. My daughter has been flying with Challenge Air for the last 2 years, and while she may not be able to do a lot of the things other kids her age are doing, last Saturday for 30 minutes Caitlin was a pilot! The experience is priceless!
Gap Dogs was invited to attend this special event with several of our service dogs. We spent the day discussing the many benefits of service dogs and allowing the challenge air participants to pet some of our fo
ur legged friends.
We had an incredible opportunity to spend some time visiting with Canine Companions for Independence. CCI is a very large service dog organization that places dogs all over the United States. So it was great to spend some time exchanging ideas. We even took advantage of an impromptu training opportunity.
As always it was a pleasure to take part in another event that benefits Colorado communities!
