More: Galen has been with me for over 8 years. We get each other, and that's saying a lot because we can both be hard to understand. He is my service dog, my hiking buddy, road companion, and perfect roommate. We've been through a lot together and I'm so happy I put the blood sweat and tears in to help him be the amazing dude he is today. He has made me a better trainer, handler, and person.
