Therapy Dog
I am a registered English Setter whelped in November 2013, is a certified therapy dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs (2024). After a successful career as a full-time hunting dog, I now spend my days bringing comfort, smiles, and calm to students in schools. I like to create a warm, welcoming environment for students, ease anxiety and encourage engagement. I am an excellent listener who patiently attends as students read aloud, helping them build confidence and fluency. I also love to attend school and community events to showcase the positive impact of therapy animals.
In my free time I am a part time hunting companion. In particular, bird hunting. My focus, discipline and teamwork serve me well here. I also enjoy long naps, ear scratches, riding on horse-drawn carriages, soaking up attention from anyone willing to give it and the occasional car ride to somewhere fun!
