I do 24 hour care 3 days a week for an elderly gentleman in his home and I bring Chewy. He just loves her, and Chewy loves him, as well. They always look forward to seeing each other. And, when my mom was in a nursing home, before her passing, I used to being Chewy all of the time.
Everybody loved her. And vive versa, of course. She could easily be a service dog. She loves everybody. Wherever I bring her, she goes up to people and wants them to pet her. A couple of weeks ago, my elderly gent that I take care of had a sort of a family reunion at his house. So, here I was, surrounded by all of these old people, (and I'm no spring chicken at 62!!), and Chewy was just loving it. I was busy serving them food and drinks, and she was just going around being her friendly old self. Except for this one old mean man...kept saying..."get out of my way, dog, before I kick you". Oooh...I was just biting my tongue. He kept saying mean things to her, and she just kept going up to him and being nice. I was just seething. Except Chewy knew something I knew, but forgot. Just keep being nice to everyone. Well, her goodness paid off. He finanlly said...'Well, this is some dog". No wonder everyone likes her". So, there's a lesson there for us all.
