Troy Melnyk is truly an inspiration. The young teen with a strong passion for people and puppies was inspired to create something in some way to get the people in his community interacting with one another. He even got his family into his plan to create and open a pop-up puppy park in his community!
Although suffering from a rare disability, which makes him nonverbal, Troy has a deep love for people. pic.twitter.com/mwpABhSquv

To say that it has been a success would be an understatement. Troy has become a community unifier who love speaks louder than his words ❤️ pic.twitter.com/88HVBG3VCb
