I like the Assistance Dogs go back to school. I think it puts a twist on school and also shows the importance of how much we need these dogs.
Hi RC, Thanks for your comments. I know I learned a lot from that article! If you want your vote to count and your name to go into the hat for the gift certificate you’ll need to write about this on your blog. (If you don’t have one it’s easy to start one at Blogger.com.) See the rest of the post above for more details on how to vote. Thanks!
Diane is so right! It takes a lot to train these dogs, and the dogs give so much of themselves, willingly!
I loved the blog about the service dog in training.
What a blessing these dogs are to very special people. It was a beautifully writen bog about a
wonderful, wonderful subject. May more of these
angels be off to school to help even more disabled
people be more productive and complete. Thanks
Diane for your vision and willingness to help others.

The assistance dog blog was very interesting. These dogs are so smart and so well-trained. It is a mutually beneficial relationship between human and canine. I never knew so much information was available about their training, etc.
Sorry, some problem with the previous URL. Here it is again. Thanks!
