http://www.statenews.com Valarie Franklin made a lifelong friend when she met Sunny in high school. Since then she and Sunny, an 8-year-old golden retriever mix, have been inseparable. Franklin, a pharmacy senior at Ferris State University, brought Sunny to the MSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital Tuesday for an event that offered free eye exams for service dogs. The event helped special dogs that do services for individual people and the community. “He has definitely changed my life,” said Franklin, who was born with brittle bone disease and uses Sunny for assistance wherever she goes. en-us Foundry4 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:04:23 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com
