Fiscal Year 2010

 

CHESTER -- A Golden Retriever, with his human companion, Peggy Eischen, visited nursing homes in the City of Scottsdale over 320 times during the 8 years 2002 thru 2010, especially Scottsdale's Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. Over 5,300 times Peggy has said to a resident or patient, "Would you like to meet see my dog?" Chester was a regular at Macy's annual sale, Blessing of the Animals, and helping in the booths at other special events. He helped Peggy evaluate new volunteer prospects and coordinate visits to children at the High School's Life Skills classes and Countney's Foundation. Chester was a loyal and helpful teammate, crossing the Rainbow Bridge in April 2010.
