Shea & Mercer
Shea & Mercer
In the spring of 2004, Shea received her "Canine Companions for Independence." Shea's dog, Mercer, helps her with her day-to-day activities -- like turning on the lights, picking items off the floor, getting her food card at lunch and giving her more independence! Click here to visit Mercer's website Marvelous Mercer! Shea has just written her first book - all about what her Companion Dog, Mercer, does when she is asleep! Click on the book cover below to visit the Marvelous Mercer site and learn all about the book and how you can order your very own copy!
Shea and Mercer with CCI Puppy The photo below is Shea & Mercer with our current CCI pup, Burney. This was the first day Mercer & Burney met & they got along famously, but then Mercer always liked little pups. Mercer is Burney's uncle & we can see the family resemblance in both appearance and personality. It was also the first time Shea had met Burney & she wanted to take him home. Admittedly, at 3 1/2 months, he is really, really cute!
