Madelyn went above and beyond! Our pup loved her so much she escaped our yard because she did not want Madelyn to leave. Madelyn called me and stayed with pup keeping her safe while we were in the phone and followed my instructions of how to leave her inside so she would not get out of the yard again. Thank you! Definitely will be one of my preferred walkers!
