daisy
Daisy was a brilliant therapy dog, with nearly 550 visits over 10 years in every type of facility and setting. She brought comfort, smiles and happiness to thousands of people, especially Val and Don King. She was the alpha of everyone in their household except Don. She was caring, intuitive and expressive – and bossy and stubborn – and so beautiful. She was Val's first dog and will always be special.
I've had the pleasure of visiting with Val & Daisy on several visits at Anchor Hospital, the Airport, GT, and others. It was truly amazing to see Daisy work the crowd. She seemed to know just who needed her the most, and she could often reach people that others could not. Sad faces broke into full smiles when they saw Daisy! She had a way of making everyone happy, no matter the situation.
There must be someone in heaven who needs her now. RIP, Sweet Baby. We will miss you terribly!

bingo
Kings’ Bingo Jackpot (Bingo) was a beloved therapy dog and companion to Val & Don King for 8 of his 14 ½ years. His adoption was unplanned and unexpected, but it was meant to be.
To the world he was serious, handsome, a great therapy dog (with over 225 visits), and an excellent giver of kisses. To Val & Don he was all that plus the best “guard puppy” ever. He faced his declining health with dignity and acceptance.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bingo. Say hello to Major and Speedy and enjoy being free from pain, until we meet again.

sparty
Sparty went from being abandoned and wandering the streets to being surrounded in a library with a dozen kids all trying to pet her little body at once. She had so much love to give and CAREing Paws gave her the opportunity to share it with everyone she met. Sparty made the most of her second chance at a great life. She looked for treats at every opportunity and attacked new stuffed animals with gusto, until the squeakers were sufficiently dead-- torn out and shredded into pieces. Her spunk, compassion and unwavering love brought so much joy to our family. We have so many great memories with Sparty and we know she brought a lot of light to everyone around her. We miss her dearly but know she will always live on in our hearts.

Gina
My best friend got to meet Jesus last night. She was my constant companion, my therapy partner, and the love of my life for the past 9+ years. Without her, I am lost and heartbroken beyond words. She gave her whole life in service to others, joyfully helping children learn to love reading, cheering those in hospitals and nursing homes, and providing strength and courage to new therapy teams. Because of her, Cassie's legacy lives on in CAREing Paws. Gina is the reason we visit at Hartsfield Jackson Airport, Piedmont Fayette Hospital, CHOA, and too many schools and libraries to list. She taught me what fierce determination looks like and how to never give up in the face of adversity. She was the BEST big sister to Annie giving her the confidence she needed. She gave me that silly lab smile, loved her belly rubs, and would swim until she sank (literally!). She never met a stranger! And I was her lucky dog mom! Oh, the adventures we shared! I love her with all my heart - she was and forever will be my SUPERSTAR!

elliott - beloved therapy companion to debbie and tony franks
We adopted Elliott in 2011. There was no adjustment period. He came in our house and was instantaneously our dog and we were his people. It was as though he had been with us his whole life.
He was the best dog. If I could have custom made a dog for myself, it would be him. He was a huge part of my life for the past 6 years and I will miss him! He also opened a lot of doors for me – because of Elliott, I got involved with pet therapy – and I have met many wonderful people, people that I know will be lifelong friends, because of him. He brought much joy to our lives and he brought smiles to many, many others doing his volunteer work. I will be forever grateful that Elliott was part of my life. I just wish he could have stayed longer.

Bella
Beautiful, sweet Bella was the cherished companion, therapy dog and reading education assistance dog to Steve and Ann Ewald. Bella helped countless children learn to love reading as she volunteered for many, many years as a R.E.A.D. dog with Ann at the Roswell Library. In addition to being a fabulous literacy mentor, she was a like a big sister to little Jameson, and watched over him with care. Bella's legacy lives on in the lives of all the children she touched. She will forever be in our hearts!
