When Allison Winn was eight and her family adopted a dog named Coco, they had no idea how much the little creature would change her life．“Coco helped me feel better,” says Allison, who was recuperating from 14 months of treatment for a brain tumor at the time．“She would cuddle(偎依)with me when I didn't want to play．”
Allison loved Coco so much that she told her parents she wanted to help other sick kids find the same kind of comfort．She started small, raising money by selling lemonade and homemade dog biscuits in front of her house．Her first customer was the mailman．By the end of that summer, she had raised nearly ＄1, 000, enough to adopt, train, and spay or neuter two dogs and give them to children with cancer．Now, a little more than two years later, some groups gather to make dog treats at a Denver kitchen for Allison's cause．
Her organization, the Stink Bug Project, named after a picture she drew in memory of the end of her treatment, is run and managed in partnership with the Morgan Adams Foundation．Stink Bug helps families adopt pets from the Trained K9 Companion Program, where the rescued dogs．Are taught commands．Allison's mother, Dianna Litvak, who helps run Stink Bug, hopes to extend the pet－adoption program statewide and continue donating some of the proceeds to help fund pediatric cancer research．
“Allison has figured out how to help－in a way that no one else has,” Litvak says proudly．“We involve her younger sister, Emily, her friends, the adopting families, and the women at the prison．It took the love of a little girl to wrap all that together into one amazing package．”
