But both are working dogs, and without a salary. Emma and Heidi are therapy dogs, which took about 2 years of training. They are taken to hospitals and old folks homes to cheer up the patients. Their training? Not to bark, bite, jump, lick (Emma is not too good on that one) or otherwise intimidate or surprise the patient. They were in the office of our resident radiation therapy professor, so I stuck them on a chair and snapped their picture. http://www.400tx.com/2006-35.html Getting two pairs of bulging eyes in focus at f/1.5 is not easy. They look more patient here than they were...they wanted to get in my lap (like they were trained to do). Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/
