I think there are a few people here how have experience in these areas. I would love to get involved in these areas. Star and Cody are just not the dogs for the job! TOO active and distactable! But, as a nurse, I would love to combine the two to do work in the nursing homes here. I have a couple of sites you might be interested in. Have to look up there addresses and then I'll post them. Labs are right up there as all kinds of therapy dogs! Maybe Sadie too! Did you ever watch Miracle Pets? One of our Dogs of the Day was one of the featured heroes! She was a lab. I have to check to make sure I have the date right, and then let you know so you can see her, and read her story! Read the topic I told you about, Cinder and Smokey in Dog Rescue. They just had their first experience as Therapy Dogs!
