Our Service Dog

 About 3 years ago I discovered that bipolar people could benefit with a service dog. ( http://www.psychdog.org ) We embarked on a long journey well worth the effort. We acquired a Jack Russell terrier a year ago at the Humane Society. We chose her because she chose my daughter. We had her trained in obedience and have worked with her ever since. She has been wonderful. She has made a tremendous difference in R. We have taken her to Disneyland, on Amtrak, everywhere we go. The only drawback is that people are uneducated and we have run into problems on countless occasions. But we persist. And R. has learned to speak up without being obnoxious.
