Gabe's Gossip ~ Observations of a Service DogArticle by Gabe Hello Everyone! It's me, Gabe, your favorite service dog. Here we are at the end of summer already. Casey and I will be returning to our teaching duties at Cabrillo College before we know it! I do earn my kibble in extraordinary ways!
Last week we had a special visitor at our house. Retired Service dog extraordinaire, Hank. I am currently filling his BIG paws of glory. I asked him to contribute something to this month's newsletter. He kindly agreed.
Hank
"Hi, my name is Hank and I am 14 years old. I have been in retirement now for over 2 years and I live in Los Angeles with a great family. I was a super hero dog and service dog extraordinaire. Mahalo to my brilliant trainer, Mo Maurer and also to my longtime partner Casey Shannon. Casey and I were the dynamic duo of our town! I am still a super hero just in a quieter way. I have one blind eye and I am a bit hard of hearing. However, I still have eyes for my much younger girlfriend, Abby! I am living up to my nickname of 'Hanky Panky' and having a ball in my golden retirement years. Woof, Woof, Hank"
Hank and his Abby
Hank is my hero and I aspire to be the great service dog he has been. Happy retirement Hank!
Well, that's all for this month.
Don't forget to visit our training school!
