He knows the routine and has his favorite residents already. It is so funny because all of the residents think he is cute and pet him, that when we go somewhere and he sees someone with a rolling walker he goes running to them. We want to get him certified as a therapy dog. It's amazing to see the look on a residents face when you put Mack on their lap....Priceless. What is even more rewarding is that the staff now stop by my office for their bit of "pet therapy" as well during the day. I am looking forward to having him certified as a therapy dog. We have only had him 4 weeks and he has touched so many people's lives. I cant imagine life without him  |
Great story, and how perfect you can take your little guy with you to work, and give other people such pleasure at the same time. You are socializing him in such a positive way too, Joey's breeder said try to get as many new positive experiences as possible the first three months, and you found a perfect way to do it!
