Mia Federico trains Mochi for Service Animal Graduation in February 2021. This idea started when her mother, Ellen Federico thought of her dog-loving daughter when she saw an ad online. Shortly after, Ellen and Mia met Mochi the Retriever-Mix on September 27, 2019. Since then, the Federicos volunteered for Canine Companions for Independence.

They liked the organization because it offers trained dogs to individuals in need for free. Other organizations give service animals for the cost of $10,000-$15,000 each. Mia grooms and brushes Mochi’s teeth daily along with two 30-minute sessions of training. Mia says, “I can imagine that the most rewarding part would be [the dog] graduating and seeing them with their new person”.
