Daniel is being evaluated tomorrow morning as a possible therapy dog! He's so calm, and just about every senior we've met says wistfully, "Ohh..a Collie! I used to have one of those. Such nice dogs." Maybe we've finally found something enjoyable to do together.

That's wonderful! I know how much our residents enjoyed Jazz. He was at work with me every day until we moved to the farm. The residents loved his visits and he loved them! It is a very rewarding experience. It sounds like Daniel is a perfect dog for the job
