Canine Magic is a voluntary organization within the East Coast Assistance Dogs (ECAD) charity that creates and sustains programs that transorm human behavior through the unconditional love of a dog.

Canine Magic was founded by Sandeep Manchanda and Pierrette Pillone in loving memory of their dog “Maggie,” who was a National Obedience Champion and more, and who transformed their lives forever. Lu Picard, Executive Director of ECAD (ECAD) helped make it a reality.
