I would love to do that with my older dachshund, Barahona ( my other one is too slurpy). She is very well-mannered and loving with all people, but first I need to get her a CD title I think..?
She'd do really well with children in a hospital setting, too. One of those "someday" I'll do that things that I never get around to. She has a nice story to inspire people, since she had over half of her bladder removed last year because of a growth, and has complete recovery.
I think its wonderful that you do visits with your dog, what titles/ certifications have you done to be allowed to do this work?
