If it weren’t for Pax’s trainer, Bill might not be where he is today, so he wanted to find her and thank her personally. Pax’s trainer was a woman named Laurie Kellog.
Bill learned that Pax lived at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility where he was looked after by dozens of female inmates and a part of the service dog training program that they had.

Laurie loved training Pax for PTSD because it hit really close to home for her. She, too, suffered from PTSD after years of domestic violence.
Pax helped her live in the moment and not get caught up in the past; she felt safe around him. When Laurie found out Pax would be going to a soldier who also suffered from PTSD, she was beyond thrilled.

Bill traveled to meet Laurie so he could thank her in person for helping Pax become what he is today. Pax has changed both of their lives for the better, so it was a very special moment for the three of them to be together.
It was obvious that Pax remembered Laurie; as soon as he saw her, he ran right up to her and gave her lots of kisses and tail wags!
