Community Conversations: K-9 Caring Angels provides service dogs, training for those in need

For this episode of Community Conversations, we spoke with Sonny Madsen and Angela Moxley about K-9 Caring Angels. They also brought special guests Avicii and Freyja.

AM: Avicii does school – she goes to the elementary schools and we teach four and five-year olds how to greet a dog, when to approach a dog, how to meet them. They do Books for Buddies, where they go to the library and kids that are learning how to read, read to the dogs. Little things like that.
