Congratulations to Vinny! He got his official Therapy Dog paperwork and tag just in time - did you know that today is National Therapy Animal Day? It is!
A day to celebrate animals of all types that provide love and therapy to others! I have been blessed to partner with several therapy dogs in my lifetime. Vinny is my 5th therapy dog partner.
Not all organizations are open to evaluating dogs that are both blind and deaf. I was fortunate to work with a local group with Treasure (blind and deaf) and they were open to evaluating her and seeing just what she could do. She passed with flying colors and was my therapy dog partner for 8 years. She is now mostly retired and has passed her knowledge along to Vinny.
I'm so excited to begin our therapy dog work together!
Congratulations to Vinny. Would you be willing to say the names of some organizations that are open to testing deaf and/or blind double Merle’s?
