Roan isn’t just a dog—he’s my lifeline. He was trained with precision and purpose, but what he offers is far more than obedience. When my hands start to shake and my vision narrows, he doesn’t wait for a command. He leans into me with his full weight, grounding me with deep pressure therapy. That pressure is his way of saying, “You’re here. You’re safe. I’ve got you.” And sometimes, those simple truths are all I need to find my way back.
The ability to have my wolf companion accompany me on most of my adventures has created a bond between us that is stronger than any other physical bond I have experienced. My relationship with Roan is pure magic and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to experience this in my lifetime. He is not only my service dog, he is an essential life companion.

As we got a bit lower and more vertical on the rope he rode more on may lap, like when we fly and he was much more relaxed.

Roan and Cyn bought a school bus with intensions to convert it into a skoolie (tiny home) over the winter. With all the different sports and activities we get up to, we needed slightly more storage and ‘garage’ space than most single females with a furry companion. Looking forward to having our actual home where ever we park it, waiting for us to return from our adventures!
Read MoreRoan started paragliding in April of 2018 at Monterey Sky Sports in Monterey, California. His partner, Cyn, is a paragliding instructor with over 16 years of flying experience. Roan was introduced to paragliding slowly, very similarly to how humans are introduced to the sport. He came out and observed paragliders launching and flying around the dunes of Monterey for weeks before taking his first tandem flight.
