Re: Therapy pets - I am getting on my soap box

@Cakers3  I think they should ask her to clean the mess and purchase the flowers. Remember the old days of Nice to see,nice to hold,you break it then consider it sold.

Re: Therapy pets - I am getting on my soap box

Neither Service nor Theraphy/Comfort Dogs specify a breed.  Labs are  very popular as service animals as their demeanor is awesome.  My AKC Certified Dog is a mini-black long-haired dachshund.  He was chosen for his demeanor, eagnerness/quickness to learn.  I looked at several breeds and dogs with our trainer and she chose him to work with Kai.  I wanted a smaller service dog as I have a completely artificial shoulder, easier for me.  Don't let size fool you.  He was tested along with labs and was sometimes, more alert.  I got lucky. I live alone and depend on him for so many tasks.
