Here's an excerpt from her owner, Kathy Best's submission:

"She sleeps next to me at night in our motorhome with three other four legged buddies, [they're] smaller than her. Yes, it's tight but all happy to be together. They spent Christmas eve at Grace point senior living home for hours. We walked halls making as many smile and warming up hearts, not saying a word just sharing compassion and sharing their love to all they could. They dressed up for special outing."

Best also provided a story where Annie was able to touch the heart of a young boy with autism.

"A little boy which I didn't know has autism walked in for his appointment [and] stopped in his tracks when he saw Annie sitting next to me. It was love at first sight and miracles began to happen without a word spoken. He ran to her, bear hugged her neck and smiled so big. [...] I asked him [if] he would like to walk her. He got so excited, grabbed her leash and began to walk around lobby."
