Pairing vets and dogs

Deborah Fox-News-Bulletin photo: Paws and Stripes and the Pilot Club of Belen work together to raise money to help local veterans at a recent Valencia County Kennel Club agility show.  Pictured, from left, are Sharon Padilla, Paws and Stripes administrative assistant;  Belen Pilot Club President Marlene Sanders; Pilot Club members Dolores Padilla, Kathleen Hill and new Paws and Stripes volunteer, Judith Vinyard.

The Pilot Club of Belen almost has enough money to buy the first specially trained service dog for one disabled Valencia County veteran, and has applied to the International Pilot Club for a matching grant.
