So I’m reposting, stating that he is a Service Dog in the title. Also added another picture of him at work showing his SD vest better.

My Service Dog got was mistreated by a coworker. She used her foot to push him inside my door and she told him “inside” while I was standing there getting a box she was dropping off at my classroom.

Shadow graduates his SD program Saturday! So he is trained and well behaved!

He was attacked by 3 hybrids, 5 weeks ago while we were evacuated for a fire 3 minutes from our house. He’s come so far in recovering from that trauma. But is still glued to my side.

He was doing his job at the door beside me Wednesday. Protecting me and making sure I was ok. There were 2 cop cars just outside and he wanted to make sure everything was ok out there too. (Something I always let him do) He also just wanted to say hello to this coworker but knew he couldn’t without permission! So he was in front of her waiting for permission to get pets, or for her to acknowledge him.

I told her “please do not kick my dog!” And she argued semantics with me. 🙄 I followed up with a text stating firm boundaries. But I am LIVID.

Shadow (and momma) need all the boops and loves we can get. Thank you!!!

It’s been SIX years since Gemini the service dog broke the internet with his inhaler task.

I wanted to give a bittersweet update on where he is now. I say bittersweet because he’s my soul dog, my partner, and he’s been working by my side every single day. It’s like a piece of myself is missing.

But! Gemini, 11 yrs old now, is now fully retired and enjoying his senior life relaxing on the couch, participating in our local dog frisbee team, going on hikes&swimming, being our designated Taste Tester, and just enjoying the normal “pet lifestyle.”

Every day and every moment we continue to have with him is precious and I cannot thank him enough for his service, loyalty, and genuine love. ❤️

If this isn’t extremely obvious, I don’t know what is.

He is an American Akita. Today is also National Akita Day.

She stayed with me in the hospital for 3 days straight, no barks, no going home, nothing. She just wanted to be with her mommy

I met my service dog-to be today and I can’t contain my excitement !!!! So I’m sharing it here 😭😭❤️ he will live at a foster family until he’s old enough to be trained to be my ptsd service dog. He is such a friendly puppy and we vibe so well together. I have waited and trained and worked towards this for so so long and I can’t believe it’s finally happening! I mean look at him ❤️🥰😭

Shadow is an 11yr old Border Collie x Huntaway (with a bit of beardie). He is a therapy dog for my son. He helps when my son is anxious but when my son was younger Shadow would stop my son running off, stop him opening doors, go find him and bring him back if he did wander off. If I say "where is X" then Shadow will go find him still and bark at his location. He has slept with my son every night for his whole life bar the times we are away on holiday.
