Well done George!

Aw i've met George in the vets waiting room before and he was adorable but I feel a bit sorry for him.

His owner says he can't really have play time when he's off duty as he wouldn't be able to differentiate between then and when he's at work. I.e can't fetch balls or play with other dogs. Sad but these dogs do amazing work

that story brings a tear to my eye. My late father was a huge fan of Guide dogs for the Blind and at his funeral the collection was in aid of them. One of the last times I saw Dad, he took me to the dentist for a sedation appointment and there was a lady with a beautiful Goldie in the waiting room, Dad spent a lovely half hour chatting to her and the dog whilst i had me teeth fixed!

Clever boy They really are amazing dogs I always ask the owner before talking/petting them as I know they are out to work.

Yep, same as, I've had a rocket before now for approaching a Guide Dog without permission, quite rightly too.

My neighbour had a lovely big lean black lab called Angus but he didn't work out, just wanted to play all the time, but decided when he replaced him with a female retriever, to keep him as a pet because he had grown so attached, he was a great dog.

Absolutely fantastic.
There's no words for these dogs, how intelligent and loyal they are!
Well done to all of them - and that includes police dogs, bomb and drug sniffer dogs, guide dogs, and any aid dog, including the Paws For Therapy dogs!
I read a story where a lady suffered severe epileptic fits and they found her a dog who was trained to detect minute changes in her body - he warned her a fit was coming on by jumping up and barking at her, giving her enough time to put her daughter in bed, and get herself lay down in a safe environment.

Well done George, and all the other aid dogs all over!
