Patsy Swendson and Gracie
Patsy Swendson, the Penny’s From Heaven
Foundation’s Executive Director and Founder, has had love affair
with Gracie. Almost totally blind since birth, this sparkling
dynamo of a dog is a true inspiration for the vision impaired
wounded warriors she works with. Gracie is a Petite Basset
Griffon Vendeen, or a PBGV. She has worked at HealthSouth
Rehabilitation Institute of San Antonio for 3 ½ years.
Currently, she is also working at The Fisher Houses in San
Antonio, The Barracks at BAMC and in Group Support Session with
traumatic brain injured and post traumatic stress disorder
warriors. The patients all fall in love with her, especially the
big strong marines and soldiers!

Gracie met a new friend, the son of a wounded soldier. They are
now best buddies! |
