Is Aveno Good For Tattos

The two faces of the working dog

Speaking with a few friends about rescue dogs and drugs, they told me that in their view, these dogs can not be treated as ordinary domestic dogs. What is the most confusing, and lacking the necessary concentration at work. Rather that they should involve the time of work with that of strong interaction with humans (their reward). Somehow I do not like the idea. Depriving a dog of sociability they need, is almost equivalent to torture, it is true that the other path is one that requires the animal carried two different depending on the context in which it moves is necessarily longer, but not with that which is gathered the real success? I prefer to think that the human-dog bond, is always and above all a strong emotional bond, and then comes everything else. Once again then we risk not underestimate our friends?

And here came across the story of Leigh Slugger and Brill, the first suffers from cerebral palsy , the second an incredible Labrador Retriever. Slugger was educated by two different trainers , which were his emotional reference points for the first two years of his life, and is a "service dog", a guide dog trained to become a vital support for people affected by this disease. But Slugger is not just an "operator", is also a dog. when he wears his vest , knows that his focus is the only Leigh, helps to collect the objects that you can not drop, the lights on and off, opens and closes doors, helps her to walk, climb and down stairs, when the service is aware that must not be distracted, can not accept tasty morsels or watch dogs around, nor pay attention to people who would call him to play. But daily Leigh Brill shall create moments of rest and play, pampering and fun. When without chest Slugger is happy to meet other people and other dogs, loves to chase his ball and create new games, running and jumping around happily. At these times it is simply a dog ... .. so much trouble if you combine small dog left alone at home, despite his impeccable demeanor when he is at work! And it is the versatility of the dog surprised to leave, he knows clear distinction between a role and the other . It is in times of non-work that the relationship between the two new discovers the truth and is no less important moments of work, indeed, the enhanced each other.

And is not this kind of relationship the most complete and mutual , than the dog "used" only to accomplish missions? As always the easiest and shortest way is not necessarily the best ....
