Puppy wish made possible thanks to local family
Innisfil dog breeder helps to bring joy to 12-year-old Christopher
AJAX, ON, Oct. 31, 2012 /CNW/ – When 12-year-old Christopher was informed that he was eligible to receive a wish from The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, he knew instantly that he wanted a puppy. Although the family currently has a dog, Christopher missed out on most of the puppy experience due to his frequent hospitalizations.
Children’s Wish set out to make Christopher’s wish come true by contacting Innisfil-based professional breeder and owner of PurdyPuppy Angie Fox and enquiring about the purchase of a young Havanese. When Mrs. Fox learned more about Christopher and his wish she consulted with her family and they made the decision to donate the dog to Christopher.
“We have four children of our own and are grateful that they are all healthy. We would hope that if something happened to affect their health that the community would reach out to us as well. Children are our future and deserve to be happy. Kids need smiles and a dog gives unconditional love to help heal those emotional wounds that medicine can’t. We are happy that we could help to make Christopher’s wish come true,” commented Mrs. Fox.
