She is so cute. And so lucky to join you at work, keep us updated with her training.

Will do @norwegiansteem :D thanks for the support!

Nice dog @Steingal
Looks like a nice place to work :)

Thanks @joklahoma ! Im living the dream ;)

Good to hear @Steingal ;)

Dogs are the only animals that can recognize our emotions. They have enough eyes to understand, rejoice or miss you. They can even empathize with people, feeling the same emotions as their masters.

So true @olegzp !

good dog

:)

Therapy pets are certainly becoming more popular, which is great.

I've always thought it so cruel than when someone has to move into a rest home they usually have to give up their pets too. How lonely. So the possibility that pet visits can bring emotional comfort and joy to people is wonderful, not to mention how they help in other therapeutic ways.

Karma looks like she is really good at her job, even if she does need a good long nap afterwards. :D

I agree @ravenruis ! I only see opportunities when including pets in therapy. Karma is the first dog I'm using in this way, but so far I'm enjoying every moment :D

Cutiepie=)

Such a great vocation for this bitty girl. :-)

Yes, thank you!:D
