HANSCOM AFB, Mass. – Jacob Larwood, 10, son of Tech Sgt. Rob and Tracy Larwood, was selected to receive a Canine Assistant Service dog as part of the Milk-Bone Canine Heroes ProgramTM. Pictured here Jacob (right) along with his mother, Tracy (left), meet Fay, a 2-year old Golden Retriever, at a special donation ceremony at the Base Commissary on Feb 13. Jacob who has epilepsy was selected to receive a service dog, like Fay, to help him live more independently. Jacob will attend a Canine Assistants training camp at a later date where his service dog will be selected and trained to meet his specific needs. (U.S. Air Force photo by Linda Labonte-Britt)
