| Deputy Sherry Hanley and Eli, partners who like each other. |
On December 21, their final night of business of the year, Lehigh County Commissioners took a moment to recognize Deputy Sheriff Sherry Hanley and Eli, her 12 year old Belgian sheepdog.
Eli is one of the few surviving therapy dogs who helped first responders at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. He and Deputy Hanley have since assisted in "Angel on a Leash," providing therapy at children's hospitals, and the "Wounded Warrior Project," helping wounded vets make the transition back to civilian life. Eli was named Therapy Dog Ambassador at the 2011 Purina National Dog Show and is the sole canine recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the American Kennel Club. He's even been on NBC's Today Show. But last night's resolution, recognizing Eli, is Eli's biggest honor to date, at least according to Lehigh County Commissioners.
Eli declined comment.

Dogs are better friends than most people, and a much better judge of character.
You'd like Eli, Chris.
Sherry is cute
hook me up Bernie
She is very attractive, but Eli would have to approve you.
I saw that dog pee on your jeep after the meeting. He also tried to steal your tire, but got distracted by a squirrel. You got lucky.
Eli and I are going to the movies on Saturday night, so there.

Lots of heavy petting I'm sure.
