Ann Brown

	In Loving Memory Ann Elizabeth Brown April 24, 1958 - March 9, 2005
	On March 9, 2005, Therapy Dogs of Southern California, the Orange County based chapter of Therapy Dogs, International, lost one of their original and most beloved members. Ann Brown, 46, passed away with her family at her side. Ann Brown was an original member of TDSC, as well as other therapy dog groups throughout Orange County. Ann had also volunteered with the Big Sister program for children with diabetes at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. Faced with numerous illnesses throughout her lifetime, Ann dealt with each health setback with a positive attitude and an indomitable spirit. Ann and her beagle, Ruby, were an inseparable pair, and together they amassed more than 2,000 visits to patients throughout Southern California. Despite her own illnesses, Ann brought joy and comfort to thousands, and she will be greatly missed.

	Therapy Dogs of Southern California, in conjunction with Iron Dogs Training Camps and Andrew Mouser, have established the Ann and Ruby Brown Iron Dog Scholarship. Ann and Ruby attended the Iron Dog Camp on multiple occasions and were an inspiration to all those they met.
