Wyatt will meet his new dog
Published 6:00am Saturday, January 19, 2008You might remember the Dec. 29, 2007, story in The Daily Journal about little Wyatt Herrmann, the 6-year-old Dent boy who was diagnosed with autism two years ago and uses nonverbal communication to communicate. The story went on to explain that Wyatt has a problem wandering off, and his family held hope of getting the boy a $14,000 companion dog to help care for the boy.
That day comes tomorrow when, at a fundraiser in Perham, Wyatt is scheduled to meet his dog, Ivan, for the first time. The fundraiser will run from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Perham. The original story is archived at www.fergusfallsjournal.com.
