then it makes things much harder for us. We had a case about two years ago at Christmas time, that one of our handlers’ dogs contracted kennel cough and even though our dogs were inoculated, it didn't work against the strain that he had. So, for about three weeks we were kind of limited on going out because our dogs couldn't go out and work. It wasn't fair to them because they got sick from it. So, we tend to keep to ourselves a lot.
My wife has a Mobility Assistance Dog named Munich. He did work as a Trauma Therapy Support dog in the Seastar Child and Youth Advocacy Centre. He transitioned to being a Mobility Assistance Dog after it became apparent that his overly empathetic personality was causing "sympathetic" anxiety episodes with a handler. So now he is mostly a professional cuddler. Thai is as subtle as a brick through a window...and Munich is a marshmallow.
