Fido's Taphouse - Tigard, Oregon

Wait! You are probably wondering why a family is going to a tap house. Let me explain. First, Fido's "The World's First Dog Tap House", was created for a purpose. Owner, Scott Porter, is a veteran and dog lover that is passionate about dogs as much as he is about beer. Fido's hosts dog adoptions and supports rescues and non-profits for the benefit of dogs.

On this day, Fido's was donating the day's profits to Canine Companions for Independence, Dundee's Alma Mater. We just had to go. We did so, not expecting to see CCI puppy raisers (and puppies) and learn how and why they generously give so much time and love for dogs that will move on to other things. The puppy raisers told us they really appreciated us being there because they got to see an actual CCI recipient with an actual CCI graduated service dog.
