Chapter 13 - THE SERVICE-DOG GRANT
Mountain States Assistance Dogs produced its own records.
Max’s training had been partly supported through a charitable partnership receiving federal grant funds for pediatric disability independence programs.
That did not make Max federal property.
It did make false billing around his care relevant to the broader investigation.
Patricia had submitted trust claims for:
Service dog acquisition — $18,000.
I had paid $4,500.
Grant covered the rest.
Patricia paid nothing.
Training reimbursement — $12,600.
Already covered through program.
Veterinary support — $7,800.
Actual cost under $1,100.

Max had become a billing category.
Then a threat to future billing.
