A Poodle, trained as a service dog. |
A photo from the Portland Pet Expo, October 6, 2012 in Portland, Oregon. I wish I would have had more time to talk with this lady about her dog, but time just wouldn't allow it. I enjoy pet expos because I get to see dogs of all types but especially because I get to see service dogs in action. My understanding in talking to people that a dog that serves a person in a wheel chair is generally called a "chair dog." I also have been told that a request for a chair dog may take years to be filled. Despite the agonizing wait, a service dog may make a world of difference in a disabled person's life, providing valuable assistance and companionship. Jimmyjumpnjive 2012
