What makes this dog special?
“I don’t have time to write what this dog deserves. She has been trying to lead my team since she was 6 months (loose back then). The story for her deserves a book, sorry. This dog has been faithful for me through all my mistakes and travails. A one-time learner. Courage and dedication to her job beyond belief. Wish I could write more.”
