Me and Devo the Autism Assistance Dog!

by Pups on March 5, 2010

Yesterday was so jammed pack I am exhausted. WOOF

I attended a training session with my current host Dogs for the Deaf.

Here I am with Devo the Black Labrador Autism Assistance Dog.

He is just gorgeous. I was so proud to meet him and he showed me what he does everyday.

Devo shows me how an Autism Assistance Dog can be an anchor if a child bolts.
I was playing the part of the child, who is haltered to the Autism Assistance Dog.
Devo does a GREAT job as the anchor as his trainer, Carrie, gives the HALT command.
He is so smart!! I was in awe!
Here I was observing and Devo was teaching about his Autism Training Session.
Ms. Southern Oregon, Misty Mccord even came out to Dogs for the Deaf to meet me. WOW, I was so excited.
Me and Ms. Southern Oregon and hearing dog in Training, Alia.

Here I am again with Ms. Southern Oregon, She let me wear her tiara for the day!

Then she wanted to teach me to fetch!

This is me and the President/CEO of Dogs for the Deaf.

She took me out on the town to the Rogue Creamery!

I have so many wonderful pictures from yesterday!
You should stop by and check them all out here!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and effort Dogs for the Deaf.

I am having so much fun while visiting you and learning about your organization.

We have some more fun and exciting news planned for today!

I am going back to KDRV Channel 12 for an interview at their station today. I cannot wait!!!!

Love, Pups

I was interested to see the autism service dog. I am partnered with a hearing dog that is getting near retirement and am looking for another one. I trained Amber, but am trying to decide whether to sign up with a school or train one on my own.
