She is doing okay.... Even Haruka hasn't been able to go back to work as a therapy dog (because management hasn't found out about liability insurance...)I also thought about having her as an emotional support dog for me (even my pcp thinks that I cope very well with my life struggles..on my own). So I try to have her being good in different environment and be friendly. She never has problems walking in crowded place... if there are so many people walking.. of course I lift her up so nobody steps on her. I just feel that it would be too bad if we had to be extra careful instead of those owners would train their dogs before they bring them to busy place. If the dog has done that to human child... that would have been totally different story and outcome...

Yes I think Haruka knew how to relax in the situation. She seems to be really fine.. and didn't get shaken up at all. She just kept licking my tears when I was shaked up! How sweet, right? She doesn't seem to have any pain anywhere... I am so glad... I truly feel that it was the owner's fault and not the dog's fault at all....

Thanks everyone for all your kind words. I was just so upset about this....

p.s. haruka means "fragrance of spring flowers" in Japanese.
