But, who cares, you still have a wonderfully obedient companion to help you with yoru daily activiites! |
I agree. Tiny who is one of my dog that is a therapy dog has some level of training that would probably make him a good service dog. He is comfortable walking beside a wheel chair and has been taught to sit on someone's lap when the wheelchair is moving. He will pick up small stuffs when you point to it and place it in your hand. He is also taught to pick up things and place it in certain areas. However, since I don't need a service dog, he is my little helper. His job is to pick up all the toys laying around the house and put it in the toy box and when I'm studying and too lazy to pick up the pencil, etc.. that I dropped, he picks it up for me and put it in my hand. I really make him very dear to my heart.
