Working dogs

My friend Reggie recently told me about a very cool thing PAWS Humane is doing for her teen son Jeffrey.

PAWS has sponsored a Labradoodle named Sarah to be trained as a therapy working dog. Once Sarah completes her training, she'll go home with Jeffrey and become his "constant companion."

Here are a few photos Reggie sent me:

I don't think this is an established program at the center but hopefully if things work out with Jeffrey and Sarah, more pets can be trained to pair up with kids who need a helpful friend.
