She is pretty amazing - I kind of feel for the people who had her before us. I hate that they 'dumped' her, but she's always been so amazing, affectionate and caring that things must have been really tight for them to do it. She's amazing with DS, too. She's now with DS's dad, so he doesn't get to see her all that much anymore, but when we used to get home she'd check him out to make sure that he was OK. She has always been very protective and caring of him. She's never happy unless she's touching you - if you're sitting on the couch, she's laying right next to you with her head on your lap.It's an amazing program, and it helps save so many animal's lives. The people who ran it had found a little loophole for the dogs that had been there for a while. Before their time was up, they'd foster the dogs out for a few days and then when they came back it was like their time had started over again. Probably not by the book, but it gave the animals the best possible chance. I just loved being able to help out.Jake, my Border Collie, also used to be a therapy dog through the Lort Smith's PALS program, and THAT was amazing. I was at a nursing home once and a dementia patient, who most of the nurses hadn't even heard talk patted Jake and then started talking about his dog. It still gives me goose bumps. I love it! There were also patients who used to follow me around the nursing home telling me that Jake shouldn't be inside... Jake loved visiting the nursing home, because they all gave him food! One of the nurses even made him a sandwich once!
