Liner was never trained to be a therapy dog - he just took to it immediately and loved his job. he gave so many elderly people joy, brought back very REAL memories for the Alzheimers patients and was a special friend to a 28 year old quadraplegic. Liner never stepped on a line, never tugged on an arthritic hand, never brought about any negative reaction whatsoever. This beautiful boy sired the # specialty GSD in 1991 but he, himself, hated the showring. He knew what his calling was and that gentle giant gave himself totally to the people at Motion Picture. Liner has been gone for a decade now but I will never forget the joy of working with him. thank you, helen, for allowing us to share the last 5 years of his life. diane Diane Strasser Silstra German Shepherds<BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
