FRED SAYS Yorkie Raises Money for HIV AIDS Dec. 8th

Who Is Fred?
I’m a cute little yorkie
with a big heart!
I am a Yorkshire Terrier in Chicago and adopted by my Dad, Rob Garofalo.
Dad says I’m a miracle because I helped him through
some of the darkest periods in his life (professionally, health wise
and personally).
I seem to have a therapeutic affect on people,
because I’m cute as a button and sassy.
It was Daddy’s idea to put me
to work — using my image to sell boxes of greeting cards. The proceeds
go to care for HIV+ adolescents who do not have health insurance. I don’t
mind because it is a great cause.
