WEEKENDS WITH DAISY
by Sharron Kahn Luttrell
Sharron Kahn Luttrell was still mourning the death of her beloved German shepherd when she decided to volunteer as a weekend puppy raiser. Every Sunday she hands Daisy back to Keith, the prisoner who cares for and trains the dog during the week. Keith seems intimidating at first but his work with Daisy suggests he is calm and committed to his work and the two trainers fall into an easy rhythm with their handovers. Sharron finds that working with Daisy is making her a better, more patient mother to her children.
