Therapy dogs

     I was working on the school paper this week and had the chance to go out and meet Peggi Dugas and Rose DeLuca from Canine Comfort of Canada. These ladies run a dog training course in Stockdale, Ont. at Cold Creek Shepherds arena. The course is to prepare dogs to be volunteered as specialty dogs, including seeing and hearing impaired, search and rescue and therapy dogs which visit individuals in need of a helping paw.

    The paper used a picture of Peggi and Rose with their dogs, but I have a few other photos from a class I sat in on that I wouldn't mind sharing.

Enjoy.

This is Hardy, Rose DeLuca's German Sherpherd.

The dogs are exposed to medical equipment and approaching different people.
