I am very sad to share that Cabo is returning to Canine Companions for re-evaluation. We’ve had many challenges we just couldn’t work thru & it was becoming unsafe for us as a team. I know that this is what is best for us both. Good luck, #LadyCabo on your future adventures. 💔 #ServiceDogsOfBlueSky
