How wonderful that you found Madison!! We bought Pepper because my husband is 100% disabled and he needed a companion to keep his spirits up. Pepper sure does that. They have been inseperable since we got him, and he even sleeps next to him at night. We feel so blessed to have Pepper in our lives.

When I first looked for a dog it was to provide me with needed companionship when I had to go on disability. I chose the cockapoo for reported hypoallergenic quality, size, and intelligence. I have not been disappointed on any of these points. Madison is incredibly intuitive, moving slowly when I am having a bad day with arthritis and alerting me (over half a dozen times now) to dangerously low blood sugar (diabetic). I travel with him as much as possible and have taken him through two levels of obedience at PetSmart. I am preparing him for his good citizenship test and plan to further certify him as a service dog for me. With very little effort on my part, he is trained to pull on the sleeve of a jacket, shirt, or t-shirt to help me take it off. He started by pulling my socks off for me. First this was a game but I have had several hand surgeries now and this little "trick" has been very useful. Madison is ONE AMAZING MUTT.
