What is a dog good for, anyhow? - Page 2

My brother's dog is a good campin' dog.

He also started therapy last night. Actually, he's going to school to be a therapy dog (where he'll go to nursing homes and hospitals and stuffs to, basically, cheer people up.)

He's such a sweet gentle guy, a big giant ball of fur and cool...I'm so excited about it.

Infi, am I remembering correctly that was the sweet little golden guy with the snow on his nose?

We were told our dog Tiny was a therapy dog before she was put up for adoption. What an awesome thing to give that patient canine affection to people who need it.

Yes, that's him. That picture is on my monitor desktops here at work! He's so wonderful. I got to see him yesterday.

I know it would make me happy to pet a dog or cat, if I were in the hospital. I'm glad others will get to know how awesome he is.

Oh here I go again:

Not Jack. He knows where to go and where not to go.

I do wonder about coyotes. My brother's family got home the other night and they were at the intersection of his yard and his field. I don't know if they've counted the barn cats lately.

Ours are leashed. The last time we took them out they almost made off with the picnic table they were tied to in pursuit of a squirrel.
