Her Network with guest Meghann Rapp

Meghann started raising a service dog because she wanted something to do with her boys — not because she had some bigger mission in mind. Turns out that's kind of the point.

Training a service dog takes two to three years: obedience work, public access rules, constant supervision, and then the hard part — handing the dog over to someone else once he's ready. Meghann knew that going in.

What she didn't expect:

• A whole network of friends she made through the program

• Something her sons could do together instead of on their own

• Her dog helping her son come back out into the world after COVID
