Is that through the Delta Society or another organization?

Eddie and Jillie are both certified through the Delta Society and make regular visits to our local hospital and assisted living home. Eddie's coming up on his second renewal, so he's been doing it for almost 4 years! Jillie is in her first year since passing her test.

I can honestly say it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. No matter how tired I am from work or anything else in my life, I look forward to our visits.

I started out just because I felt Eddie had something to offer. I'd never been much of a volunteer, but I could see the way people lit up when Eddie was around. I felt like I was being selfish not sharing the love, so we took a class similar to yours and have been visiting ever since.

Best of luck in the class! Let me know if it's the Delta Society, because I can give you some insight on the testing.
