Wonderful story! It's amazing how much we love our dogs and cats. As you may already know, a therapy dog and a service dog are different. Although a dog could go to school and be both. After I received Ziggy at ten week, I waited a few weeks and put him in a puppy class before he had all his shots. Then he went into the Star program, then the Canine Good Citizen, then Advanced Canine Good Citizen, and Urban Canine Good Citizen. He then had five courses in Therapy Dog before he was old enough to be excepted in Service Dog School. After he graduates from service dog school I'll be putting him back in therapy school. He just loves to learn and please me. We have a very interesting relationship that I wouldn't trade for anything. He watches me like a hawk. I'm a disabled vet from Vietnam with PTSD among other things. We couldn't be a better team.

You just made my day as well.
I'm very happy with her work.
Charlie and I were in Vietnam at the same time. He was down south in the Delta and I was up north near the DMZ. I hope you enjoy this interview. We haven’t finished augmenting it yet and we may have a few more tweaks, but it’s to the point I wanted to share it. I hope you enjoy it. NEVER FORGET! Once we complete the augmentation, this image along with our other images go in schools, libraries, and museums. We don't rewrite history, we tell it the way it was!
