Did anybody else see on Animal Planet the story about the pit bull (I think his name was Rocket) who'd had a leg amputated after an accident and was selected for training to become a canine therapy dog? I didn't see the beginning of it, so I missed how the young man working with Rocket got involved in that program. And I fell asleep before it ended! Did they make it through their training?

Thanks,
Elyse

I just watched that episode last night actually! Pit Bulls and Parolees is one of my favorite tv shows. Sadly no he didn't pass, during the test he was suppose to walk past a dog and ignore it and instead of ignoring him he was trying to sniff him, so he failed. He had done everything else right though and they said they were going to go again after they worked some more.

What a great story, actually Cassiesmom your stories were wonderful as well, is always nice to see and hear the good stories, we so very often hear just the bad. I am the owner of 4 APBT's, well 3 full and a APBT/Lab mix, lol and I too can say they are wonderful dogs, I have one that is a certified therapy dog, that goes to the nursing homes, she loves the elderly, they are great at giving hugs, I am going to see about this next school year, setting up a program with the schools to take her in to teach kids HOW to aproach and ask to pet a dog, how to read a dog's body language and such. Keep the positive attitude

Thanks for sharing
