I'm Jerry Stillwagon, and my dog is Baron, a nearly three year old Miniature Schnauzer. I spent almost 24 years in the Air Force with assignments in eight overseas countries and four stateside assignments. After retiring from the Air Force, I worked for numerous Defense Contractors.

I was motivated to become a therapy dog handler by 1) having a well-behaved and friendly dog, and 2) spending a lot of time in the hospital. Heart attack, bypass surgery, one joint rebuilt and another one replaced, and all the time I spent in the hospital I only saw one therapy dog. My motivation is to share the joy of a dog.
