Dr. Doolittle

I know many of you remember Doolittle from camp. He was such an important part of camp and always a favorite. He always carried our cerebral palsy campers double and was the highlight of camp for a lot of campers. 

I am sad to say that on Friday, July 13, 2012, we laid Doolittle to rest. He was diagnosed with cancer in February 2012 and despite all of our efforts, our vets efforts, and his efforts to fight it, in the end, the best decision for him was to lay him to rest. We were able to take one last picture with our campers and Doolittle before he was laid to rest. Doolittle will always be remembered by all of the campers, parents, and volunteers of TACO. He was a very special pony to all of us.

He is now watching over all of our TACO campers, past and present, living pain free and running with his old buddies.
