By the time Caleb met Colonel a month later, his condition dramatically improved. He was able to take a break from his wheelchair and walk the puppy. He was even smiling, laughing and speaking again.

“It was about a month after that first visit when we got to really play with Colonel again,” said Caleb’s dad. “And by that time, Caleb had become much more aware.” A month after first meeting Colonel, Caleb was able to play fetch without assistance. With Caleb focused more on play than therapy, he was able to crawl, walk, and function like a normal boy. It’s still a long road, but Caleb is that much closer to healing thanks to his furry friend.
