He was one of three dogs being fostered by Clemson animal and veterinary science majors Marena Fleming, Grace White, and Dana Galvin to be service dogs for veterans. The students committed to spending a year socializing and training the dogs for Battle Buddies, a nonprofit based out of Simpsonville founded with the mission to help veterans regain their physical and emotional independence by gifting them with highly trained service dogs worth more than $7,000 each.
