Hello,

I have a service dog. His name is Jaxson, he is a Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever mix. The most important thing he does for me is walking/sitting/standing to the side and slightly in front of my right leg which is where the CRPS II is most sensitive to even the slightest touch/breeze. He has been trained to stay in that position to protect me from tactile stimulation among other things. He also provides a great distraction from pain because when he is with me it makes me happy, I can look at him and feel comforted in spite of the pain. I would highly recommend this breed for a service dog!

I hope you are able to find one that meets your needs,
Tessa
