Several months after Casey and I began our relationship, I happened to be working at my computer and went to the website for Therapy Dogs International. The actual therapy dog test was printed on the website. I read the test and my immediate reaction was"Casey could pass this test in her sleep." Well, the test was being given in about 2 weeks in Mechanicville. I took Casey. Neither one of us had any prior experience or training. Casey passed with "flying colors."
An interesting aside that will give you some insight into Casey's personality: We went to the therapy dog test in the evening , and just as we came in the front door, one of the evaluators(they are the people who administer the test), sat down in a wheelchair "to take a load off." Casey immediately made a beeline to the man. She seems to have a natural affinity for wheelchair bound people.
