'Charlie, our puppy with a purpose, http://www.today.com/pets/how-can-i-help-you-here-are-all-skills-charlie-t107008...
is learning to be a gentleman. In the future, he will open doors, carry a purse when necessary and even pay the cashier after a night out.'

I am amazed to see what these dogs can do. This particular article is about dogs who help our Vets, who are suffering from PTSD, and other war-related issues. I personally suffer from Epilepsy. Luckily, for me, it's a form that doesn't cause blackouts, at this time I don't need a dog. I watched a programme a short while age about a young girl. She was struggling with several seizures a day. Her dog was able to tell her when she was going to have one. It gave her time to lie down and stopped her from being injured.

I have a friend who had a hearing dog until the dog passed away. She's waiting for a replacement. These dogs are invaluable to their owners. Their senses are so much stronger than ours are. However, these dogs are not just aid dogs; they are part of the family too.

The people who train these dogs are outstanding at their jobs. They have such a wide variety of skills to teach these dogs; it takes time and patience. They are to be admired for the work they do.
