www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 13, 2006 - 25 good news Frank Apa of Oakville Toyota, received Patch, a Shih Tzu, as a puppy. Patch was a sweet, endearing little dog whose ability to connect with people quickly became apparent. He went to work at the Oakville Toyota dealership every day with Mr. Apa and became a true ambassador for the relationship that can develop between people and animals. He became a company companion, mascot and corporate spokes dog with an integral role in the owner's dealership. He had a positive impact on all of those that had the pleasure of meeting him. Sadly, Patch passed away in August 2002. To honour his long-time companion Mr. Apa dedicated August to Patch's memory. Over the month the Oakville Toyota and Lexus of Oakville dealerships raised $13,300 in Patch's name. The money was generously donated to the Oakville & District Humane Society. The Society's Board supported using this donation to develop an education program promoting the importance of the human/animal bond, featuring the dog that represented the ideal role model ­ PATCH. In 2003 Mr. Apa's dealerships donated $10,335 to support this ongoing initiative. In 2004 $7,040 was raised, $9,674 in 2005 and so far this year $6,500 has been raised. awareness OAKVILLE TOYOTA & LEXUS OF OAKVILLE are proud sponsors of THE PATCH CHALLENGE GETTING Take the Patch Challenge!
