This time bark 3 times for the toothpaste, I was confused last time you had me run to the store. Psst, Spencer, it was BEER not Toothpaste That's OK though, Drift will still love you.

It is really cool that you get her out there to do this. It has to take alot of time on your part, but stories like that sound like all the payback that is needed.

Michael_Wise Webboard User Reg: 07-10-2006 Posts: 4454 Loc: Arkansas Offline	Honestly, Kelly, I really didn't know exactly what therapy dog's did. Now I do. And thinking about what they mean to kid's, and adults, like in your story.....this is an important job. I don't even want to think about a kid not having *something* to love or believe in. Therapy dogs make sure this doesn't happen to those they come into contact with.

I don't even want to think about a kid not having *something* to love or believe in. Well said, Michael. And the dog even loves back -- looks at the kid with accepting, loving eyes .... I can't even imagine how profound that could be to too many children.
