Luna brings light into our life. She is our new Great Pyrenees puppy. Her puppy smiles and happy tail wags bring us joy. She is very bonded already to my daughter, who has mild autism spectrum disorder. She is extremely gentle with us. She loves the kids. She already knows how to sit and wait. She can ring the bell to go outside. Her fur is soft and fluffy with a tan spot on the top of her head. She has “Pyr paws,” which are huge paws almost like hands. She will gently put her paw on your arm as if to say hello or pet me! I will start her official puppy class in December. I am hoping to train her to be a therapy dog. And she is already bringing great unconditional love to our family! --Dr. Alice Wilkenfeld
