Calling All Service Dogs

[sheltiesmama]

On Saturday I attended a meeting for owner's of and people who need Service Dogs. One of my dogs is also my Service Dog and is invaluable to me. The list of things that these dogs (and not just Shelties) can do is endless.

This is Book. Not only is he a handsome creature, but he is an awesome Service Dog----



These two curly beings are Adam & Nicky. They are both Service Dogs in training. They are Goldendoodles, extremely smart and they don't shed, a must for some recipients of Service Dogs---



This Lab is Holly. She was unsure of my camera so I wasn't able to get a very good shot of her---



And this amazingly handsome guy is my own Service Dog, Austin. Although he is smaller than the average Service Dog, he can perform an astounding amount of tasks for me. I just wish I had taken his leash off before this shot---



I hope you getting a small glimpse into the world of Service Dogs.

Hi Shirley, Great shots of dogs that perform such important tasks for those in need. Austin is not only smart but beautiful too. TFS

Great Captures of these wonderful animals. Austin is a beautiful sheltie.
They are so much smarter than we give them credit for, Chewy may not be Service dog material, (He sheds alot) but he sure keeps me company and he's my best friend.
Thanks for sharing these

Thank you all very much.

Michael---Austin also sheds a lot and he's a service dog. I just meant that some people can't be around shedding dogs.

Hi Shirley - even with the leash on, Austin still looks like a winner to me .. I have seen these animals in action in different areas and it's amazing what they can do .. and I've also seen videos in how they train them ..this is a very nice set
