As a young boy, Caleb was in a tragic, head-on car crash. As a result, he suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a broken femur, knee, and arm. Because of the TBI, millions of Caleb’s brain cells were killed upon impact and his family feared that he wouldn’t make it out of the ICU alive. Caleb’s progress was slow and discouraging, leading his parents to believe he might never actually recover.
That all changed when Caleb was introduced to a cuddly golden retriever named Colonel. The minute Caleb saw the therapy pup, he was more alert and aware. His parents described the moment as a turning point in his recovery.
