We've been going to a lot of places since I moved into my new home. My mom and dad take me to Petsmart and Petco all the time. If I'm really good, I get to pick out a new toy. I really like all the attention I get when I'm out in public. All kinds of people like to come up and pet me. I also like getting to meet other dogs. My mom and dad had plans for me like running in races with them, which I have accomplished. But, I had plans for my mom and dad. I wanted to become a Registered Therapy Dog. When I first met my mom and dad they weren’t too familiar with this type of work. I had to introduce it to them by going up to strangers and letting them pet me. When mommy took me to obedience school the instructor told her that I would make a good therapy dog. Others had told her this as well. Well, mommy called a tester with Therapy Dogs Inc. and they set up a mutual time for us to meet. The tester was very impressed with me. He even had me meet his dog to see how I would react. I did fine because I love people and dogs. Mommy and me then had to be tested 3 different times at the nursing center that I was going to work at. Well, I passed with flying colors. The tester was very impressed with my therapy abilities and I am now a Registered Therapy Dog with Therapy Dogs Inc. I have been doing therapy work since May of this year. I am very proud of myself and I even get to wear a dog tag that says, “I am a therapy dog”. It’s a great honor for me to help others, just like how Dalmatian Rescue does for us dogs by placing us in good homes.
I really appreciate all the help that the Dalmatian Rescue provided me in finding my new home. I feel like the luckiest dog in the world! Thank you Aunt Beth. Lots of dog kisses to everyone, Pepper |
