New service dog helps one Colorado veteran while honoring the legacy of another

Loving, Colorado (KDVR) – was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

On the stage in Stelowrere Derby, collection of veteran donations in Steloter Ranch in Laarmer County during the weekend, a puppy named Humphrey met with the old warriors in Colorado who will be associated with helping in the challenges of post -shock disorder.

“Humphrey is a training dog in training that begins his journey and partnership with the veterans here at this moment,” said Joanna Maktevia, Body Battalion, a non -profit organization.

This is the dog’s position in the service that carries a special meaning. He was named in the honor of the Colorado champion, who was all ready to receive a service dog before the tragedy collided.

Mactevia said: “Jason (Humphrey) was accepted in our program, and he was appointed to receive the service dog in training before retiring from the Sharif section. He felt enthusiastic and tension about this new chapter in his life.

“Just two weeks after his acceptance, Jason lost his life in a traffic accident,” she added.

Jason Humphrey was killed in a car accident in February 2024 while driving home from work. He spent 20 years with the Adams Sharif County Office and 25 years of military service.

Mactevia said: “While this society, which he knows well and our sadness, we also knew that we had to do something to honor the life and legacy he was building.”

For this reason they named the latest service dog in Humphrey’s training, and what is the best way to continue Jason Humphrey’s legacy of puppy’s pair with a friend of Jason? One of the old warriors of the National Guard in Colorado is called Delon, who served with Jason Humphrey abroad and at home.

Mactevia said: “Delon carries the memory of Jason with him, and today Humphrey becomes a living reminder that even in the loss, there is hope, healing and new beginnings,” Mactevia said.
