"Empowering Youth For the Future"

Pleasanton couple's dog a winning wiener

"In the seven years they have been together, Patrick Major has seen Sammy Davis transform from a playful pet to one of the fastest dachshund racers in the state. Even though he stands only about 6 inches tall, Sammy can pump his stubby little legs and leap through the air to catch Frisbees nearly as big as he is. And, this pooch was a doggie pinup in the International Disc Dog calendar three years running." Read More Here

Animal Therapy

Therapy Dogs reach the heart with non-judgemental; unconditional love. Before we teach the mind, we need to love the heart of a child or adult. We support the work of Sammy Davis and Patrick Major.

Life, Love and Longevity is the motto of HYA Therapy Dog Program, we salute our partners at SPCA-San Francisco, and UCSF Medical Facility. In 2011, we expand our therapy program to the St Vincent School of Boys in San Rafael, CA. USA.

The beauty of children is their honesty, all they need is TIME, with you and me. And when we give our TIME, we share in the spirit; thereby, reinforce our comittment to their development.
