This is SO true Evan, when I did therapy work with my last GS, Lily it was more rewarding than anything I've ever done. Having those people beg when I was coming back was heart wrenching but I always came back & made their day hearing their stories. The touch meant more to them that day than anything. Many times I left with good tears in my eyes. Yes go for those walks whether it's inside or outside. It's the BEST advertisement we have for the public.

He loves to get up on fences or stands. Someone driving by looked over at him and stopped to applaud. The popularity of this breed has never been better. Those who do not agree, need to go for a walk with their dog, visit a school, or a hospital. We are doing it right, and doing it often. Evan L.
