When I was a kid, our dog was about as far from a service dog as you can get. She didn't do tricks beyond an occasional shake for a treat, she shook the walls with her snores, and she had about a half a game of fetch in her on a good day. But she was no less a good dog for it. She never failed to put a smile on our faces, and during troubling times, I have no doubt that she saved our little family.
So just imagine what a well trained dog in need of a career change can do for your family!
