A girl's best friend

Kadence is a poodle and trained guide dog who provides six-year-old Bella, who has autism, with "laughter, companionship, strength and courage," says her mom Andrea Haefele. Please watch the video below to see all of the ways that Kadence assists Bella every day. The Haefele family is walking in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides this May to raise money so that other families can receive a guide dog free of charge through the Lions Foundation of Canada. Kadence now attends school with Bella.
