An senior is thanking three young Ottawa girls for coming to her rescue.
“They were my angels from heaven,” said Liz Stepniewicz, who was recovering from a neck surgery and a hip replacement.
During her recovery, Stepniewicz was unable to take care of her dog, Penny, until she found a flyer in her mailbox.
Two 11 year olds and a 9 year old decided to start a dog walking business to make some money.
“I really like to walk dogs and be around them,” said Clair Guy. “So I thought we should do a dog walking business.”
“The dogs need to be walked. I couldn’t do it.” said Stepniewicz. "Penny is thrilled. She sees the girls coming and she bounces all over the place.”
The girls charge $4 for every 20 minutes. Twenty per cent of their profit goes to the Humane Society.
Penny is a rescue dog so the idea of some of her money going to the Humane Society thrilled her.
So far, Penny has turned out to be girls only job but Stepniewicz says she keeps them busy, asking the girls to walk Penny almost every day.
“Penny loves those girls. She really does,” said Stepniewicz.
