I think it was during the Westminster Dog Show that I saw a Papillon working as a service dog and it was remarkable!!! The dog was taking the clothes out and putting them into a basket!
I'm amazed by the strength and intelligence my yorkie Bobby has! (He weighs 9 pounds.) He has been gleefully pulling around a medium-sized round dog bed. When I asked Bobby where my son is, he got off the couch, went to my son's room and barked in front of the door. And he's only been with us a week and a half!
I have little doubt that he could be taught to pull open a cupboard (they attach a small towel to the handle), put things in a small basket and bring them to me. That would be a big help when my joints are hurting badly!
