Koozie Group celebrates third service dog graduate

Koozie Group is excited to announce the graduation of its third service dog! Bodie is part of the company’s sponsored litter with 4 Paws for Ability, which Koozie Group has been supporting since 2022. Bodie was matched with Madison, a four-year-old girl from Texas who has nonverbal autism.

At graduation, Madison’s father, Cory, shared, “Bodie is an excellent, excellent dog. I can’t wait to see the bond between Bodie and Madison grow and for them to be able to explore the world together safely. He’s going to give Madison freedom and be another caretaker for our family. We are going to Disney this year, and Bodie will be helping with that trip quite a bit. We’re so excited for them to experience that together!”

“We’re beyond thrilled to have a third service dog now making a positive difference for children experiencing health challenges and their families,” said Trisha Joyce, employee engagement and communications manager at Koozie Group. “It warms our hearts to support 4 Paws for Ability as part of our ‘Keep It. Give It.’ program, and we can’t wait to continue our support in 2025.”

Bodie is the third dog from the litter sponsored by Koozie Group to graduate. Two dogs are still in advanced training, and four are now “Fabulous Flunkies,” the term of endearment given to dogs who don’t master the skills needed to become service dogs and are adopted out, usually to their foster families.
