| Second smallest Service Dog in the World I am so proud of the fact that my little buddy Bam was certified a Service Animal on 12/30/11. He is 5.5 pounds. The littlest one is also a Yorkie and weighs 2.2 pounds. They are great animals. Bam is a hug monster and his face says it all. |

| Congratulations, I am not 100% familiar with service dog training and certification, but I am sure it can be extensive. Again congratulations on such a talented little buddy |

| That is awesome!! Service dogs are wonderful. A friend's little boy was in the hospital for a week after he was attacked by german shepherds last year. There was a service dog they brought twice a week to the hospital, and he did therapy with it and was never afraid of dogs after the attack. I think service dogs have a special way of communicating and soothing people. I know yours is doing a great job |

| Thank you for all your nice words. We got the idea when we saw somebody being denied access to a place with their Emotional Support Animal and we thought Bam would make for a great Service Animal, based on his disposition and natural Yorkie cuteness. Now he goes everywhere and lightens up the lives of people he meets. I encourage all who own dogs who can do this, to take the steps to make your dog a service animal. My feelings are "why should my family be the only ones to enjoy our pet?" In the long run, you will feel a lot better too when you see that beautiful little dog make a person less fortunate than you smile because of something you did. |

| Bam's certification is as a Service Animal. As a therapy dog , he wouldn't have the rights that a service Animal does have.

| Its just the description you said sounds like a therapy dog. So he is trained to help you with a disability?
