Not only can a dog be a man's best friend, but it can be a child's as well. And a dog that would be a friend is just what five-year-old Madison, diagnosed with Batton's Disease, wished for. Madison's disease causes her to make increased trips out of the house to the doctor's office, so she wanted a dog that could keep her company on her outings. But because she specifically wanted a dog that would be able to accompany her everywhere, no ordinary dog would do. Guide Dogs of America generously donated a dog, valued at $13,000, that was being retired from the training program. Madison's new best friend was found — a gorgeous 1-year-old female Golden Retriever named Yasha. Steve Welch & Associates donated their services to train Yasha as a certified companion dog for a young child. Madison immediately fell in love with Yasha (and the feeling is mutual), and they have quickly become lifelong friends. They enjoy going to the park and even the doctor's office together.
