Luna is part of the NHL Arizona Coyotes roster and is a 14-week-old black Labrador. She became family when Cole Cook, vice president of strategy and business intelligence for the Coyotes, and his girlfriend, Allie, decided to foster Luna.

Cook said, “The previous foundation director at the Coyotes kind of floated this idea around the office if somebody would be willing to foster a dog that would be a service dog and then eventually have it be transitioned to a veteran and nobody in the office was really too eager to do it.”

Cole and Allie made it a reality. Now, the NHL team has partnered with the National Assistance Dogs Inc. (NADI). This is a Phoenix-based foundation with a mission of pairing dogs with veterans and first-responders with mobility issues and post-traumatic challenges. Luna has recently graduated and the NADI will soon pair her with a veteran in need based on her personality type.
