The Path of an Aspiring Assistance Dog

Ever wonder who trains assistance dogs? Lise Miltner (STH’17) and assistance-dog-in-training Gem spent 16 months together—attending classes, riding the T, and living in student housing, for the first phase of Gem’s training. If volunteering means giving back, for Miltner and Gem it means pride and loss too.
