HAPPY NEWS! On January 9th, 2009 Simba passed the evaluation test to become a therapy dog for Valley Humane Society. At just under 2 years old, he is the smallest therapy dog in the program. I have been living in a senior community for the last 9 months (I'm the youngest one renting there!), and Simba has worked wonders on everyone here with his expressive eyes and happy personality. Everyone knows Simba, but I don't think they know my name! I truly believe he was meant to fulfill this position to bring smiles and joy especially to those that need cheering up. He seems to respond happily to laughter and the sound of his name by doing one or several of his well rehearsed routines. We will be visiting hospital and senior centers in the area, and represent Valley Humane Society at future streetfair booths. I am so extremely proud of my little Prince Simba! Pictures of Simba in his official vest are posted.
