Frank and Nolan

Frank and Nolan

While every bond between a pet and his owner is special, there is a unique quality to the relationship between a guide dog and their blind owner. Frank, who is blind, relies on Nolan for not only his companionship but literally his well-being and safety.

Banfield Charitable Trust, in partnership with Banfield Pet Hospital, has been giving Nolan free preventive care for more than three years. BCT covers the costs for things such as vaccinations while Banfield professionals volunteer their time for Nolan’s care.

Frank recently wrote to us to talk about Nolan and why he values the support of donors who make Nolan’s veterinary care possible. 

Tell us about Nolan and why his health is so important to you.

Nolan is my Guide Dog for the Blind and I depend on him every day. I have to trust him to do his job to keep me safe and it is important to me that he is happy and healthy. Nolan is like a member of our family. He is loved and cherished by all of us. The BCT Wellness Plan will assure that he can continue to do his job and stay healthy and provide many years of faithful service.

What do you love about him?

I love that Nolan is outgoing and friendly and absolutely loves to do his job as a Guide Dog for the Blind. He is very fond of kids and ‘the ladies’ and enjoys being playful with them. Nolan particularly enjoys going grocery shopping with me. He is able to show me where all the different food items are! He knows them by name and is also able to pick out all my favorite foods. He loves to do a good job and get his kibble treats for finding the food items!

If you could talk to Banfield Charitable Trust donors, what would you say to them?

I have put my life in Nolan’s paws and in your generous hands. The quality of professional care Nolan receives is outstanding. There is no way to truly thank you!
