A very thoughtful post, On Call. Thanks you so much.

SuzyQ, I think it's a wonderful thing to give a Service Dog a loving place to live and work. Of course you are deserving. You both are..

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry that you lost Tiny...I have such a soft spot for animals...it's heartbreaking when you lose one.

I don't have children so when I have a pet (of any kind) I seem to go into mommy mode lol I spoil it rotten and usually end up going overboard at PetSmart lol

I've had people tell me that a service dog is just that...to serve and that I shouldn't expect to have one for protection. I guess I can understand that but like you, it would be comforting just having one with me when I go out alone. We live in a nice area but you never know what might happen. I'll admit I get worried sometimes when I do go to the store or wherever by myself and I'm wobbling (sp?) with a cane.

I would love to talk with you some more about Tiny, learn more about that kind of breed and how you were able to obedience train him. If you'd like PM me or send an email, maybe we can talk some.

I'm off to dream land now...have a good night!


The comment people said to you about not expecting to have the dog for protection also?

All dogs (even the little bitty teacup dogs) have a natural instinct to protect their humans, so I think if you got a mobility/assistance dog, you're going to also get his protective services too.

What do you want to know about Tiny's breed? (Bouvier des Flandres)
