Our Heroes
Christopher Reeve: 1952 - 2004
"I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life."
At 4 Paws, Christopher was a hero. He brought disability to light in a manner no one has ever done before,
and the strides he made to bridge the gap between disabled and typical will never be forgotten.
Connor Millard: March 1, 1999 - September 18, 2007

Connor is free and full of bliss,
given back to God with Mommy and Daddy's everlasting kiss.
This sweet little boy, a gift from above,
he showed this world a special kind of love.
Nothing more to anchor him and prevent his play,
all is good in Heaven each and everyday.
A breath of fresh air, no longer a fight.
A football tucked under his arm,
he'll play on his field of dreams every night.
Angels cheer on Team Connor to win,
his face aglow and beaming with a grin.
Touchdown!
He's done it again!
The angels cheer and one calls out, "Go Connor!"
As we stay here on earth and root him on in prayer and special honor.
He will also find the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven's place.
A special furry friend has been waiting there for him and will run to him in the fastest pace.
He'll jump on Connor with so much joy,
he's waited just so long for his special boy.
And now the time is here, his boy is by his side!
No more lonesome nights for the boy he cried.
They'll romp and they'll run, they're already best of friends with nothing to do but have lots of fun.
Connor's face is wet from doggy kisses galore,
he'll giggles and say, "You're tickling me, stop, no more!"
Together they'll be without worries or a care, laughing and snuggling, a wonderful pair.
All is good in Heaven, Connor will tell you so.
Nothing to hold him back from the places he will go.
Roam free, little Connor, eternal bliss is yours.
Just remember that lasting kiss though from those who loved you most here on earth and opened so many doors.
