Update on Julia and her peanut-sniffing dog fund.

Remember Julia and her campaign for donations to help her pay for the training of an allergen alert dog?

With nearly three-quarters of the money raised toward the goal, Julia's family has been able to reserve a labradoodle puppy from a breeder in western Canada and set him up with a trainer from I Smell Trouble, LLC in Montana.

Meet Quincy, the eager freshman student with the $8,000 nose:

Says Cathie, Julia's mom:

Here's Julia's guardian angel. He is tiny now but we know he will sprout wings and keep her safe.

After a few months of preliminary training, Julia will take Quincy home for socialization training around Christmas. I will keep you all updated on his progress!

Thanks to all readers who shared the link, donated, or said a prayer.
