And now, DoSF brings you ‘A Day in the Life of a Trainee Assistance Dog’. Four more pics pushed under the divider.
The assistance dog must learn to catch sleep where he can, because he never knows when he will be called upon to take his human for a walk, or even provide a supportive cuddle.
This pup is very attentive in class, but is feeling a little sad as well, since he knows that soon he will graduate and be separated from his trainer.
Socialization training is this pup's favorite part of the day.
And then it's back for some one-on-one learning with the trainer... and back to being sad that soon, school will be over.
And then it's lunchtime, and then time for another little nap. Learning takes so much energy!
