Service Dog Gets Paired With College Student

Lillian Ellmore, a 19-year-old freshman of North Carolina from Lexington, has just received her service dog Fenway after being trained for two years. “Fenway was really easy. He was never a troublesome dog, and we didn’t have a lot of behavior issues to work through. He was friendly and sweet,” said Krysta Kyle, a mother of four and the one who raised the dog with her family.

This made the 2-year-old Labrador and Golden Retriever mix to be the right good boy for the job. Fenway is trained to respond to 40 advanced commands that will help Ellmore complete basic tasks such as opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off, and retrieving dropped objects.

It may be hard for the Kyle family to see Fenway go, but knowing that he will change a teen’s life by helping her achieve success in school is a happy memory that will live on.
