Hello ONEN,
My name is Lucy Knaup and I would like to be considered for the Dog of the Year. I am super friendly with all of my neighbors. I support my immediate neighbors by quietly keeping the squirrels in the trees. I am a certified Therapy Dog and provide love to people of all ages. I have gone to nursing homes, visited college students during exams to help them de-stress at CC and UCCS. I have done many Bite prevention seminars at schools and HealthFairs in Colorado Springs and Canon City. My very favorite work that I have done for the past 3 years, and will be doing again this summer, is Camp Whiskers and Wags at HSPPR. Here I teach children how to clicker train dogs and they give me hotdog treats, nothing could be better than kids and hotdogs!
