"My goal in life is to be as good a person as Dylan is a dog."
    --Bill Hayes, President, AMP

Update: Dylan, one of the greatest dogs ever, passed away in November of 2007.  Many people expressed their regrets about Dylan passing and your love is greatly appreciated.  We know he is keeping an eye on things just beyond the rainbow bridge and the many lessons he taught us will not be forgotten.

Dylan the dog was our office dog and we were all the better because of his presence. He had an uncanny knack of making anyone feel better, even people who were cat lovers would agree that Dylan was a special dog. He was a friend to all -- humans and animals alike -- and constantly greeted our visitors with a welcome smile and a wag of his tail.

Dylan was born in Nashville, TN, but moved to Golden, CO when he was five weeks old. So essentially, Dylan is a golden from Golden. Ellen Ozier picked Dylan out of a litter of six when he was six weeks old and lived with Dylan in Denver and the mountains of Colorado until he was two. In 1997, Ellen and Dylan moved to Chapel Hill where they met Bill Hayes.

In addition to having an incredible disposition and sparkling personality, Dylan was quite the athlete. He retrieved anything, from anywhere and ran and swam whenever anyone would let him.

Dylan appeared in three of our documentaries. In Saving Life and Limb, he appeared as the dog who wakes up John Wayne Thompson in the film reenactment of John's accident. In Spinal Impact, Dylan appears as the friend of quadriplegic Gemma Quinn. In No Arms Needed: A Hero Among Us , Dylan receives a nice pet from our armless star, Marty Ravellette.
