1:24Now PlayingMelissa and Mark Hortman began volunteering with the nonprofit Helping Paws in 2014, when their daughter initiated the training of service dog Minnie.
After their daughter left for college, Mark Hortman completed Minnie's training before the dog was paired with veteran Aric Elsner. Elsner says the Hortmans made a difference in his life and he'll remember them every day with Minnie is by his side.
Inspired by the positive experience with Minnie, Melissa Hortman began training another service dog, named Gilbert. When Gilbert did not complete the program, the Hortmans adopted him, making him a beloved family pet.
Tragically, Gilbert was gravely injured in the same attack that killed Melissa and Mark Hortman.
