kids is lucky enough to adopt him. He is SO cute, and so enthusiastic. The workers seem to be enjoying their time with him. Not all dogs are meant to be "helpers". This guy wants to have fun.

As someone who has raised dogs to become service dogs, I can think of a few that this dog reminds me of. The first dog I raised was a male so rambunctious I really wondered if he'd ever become a guide dog, but he did. I was pretty proud of my training skills. The second dog I raised was a female who needed almost zero training - she was that good and smart. The pet dog that I lost a little over a year ago was given to me by the school because she wasn't right for their program. She was absolutely the best dog I'd ever owned.
