INTRODUCING THE AMAZING 'ANGUS' and DEB

of courage, dedication and faith between
a very special lady and her ASD
Labradoodle puppy and what they have
accomplished together. |
Deb and her wonderful husband Chris live in
North Carolina. Deb is in constant pain although
you would never guess it with her cheerful
positive - thinking attitude to life. Deb
spends her waking time in her wheel chair and
her passionate love of dogs led her to
investigate getting a Service Dog to help her
throughout her difficult days and nights.
But waiting time was long so in 2005 Deb called
Angela in Florida to discuss the possibility of
her training her own ASD Labradoodle from her
chair. Angela's immediate response was
'why not?'
A
short while later Angela selected a puppy which
she believed would suit Deb's needs.
Angela worked with the puppy through Early
Learning and at four months of age she presented
him to Deb to carry on with.
At just under 12
months of age, the puppy had learned to do an
impressive number of tasks, including picking up
dropped objects & returning them to Deb, opening
and closing the fridge door, and retrieving a
number of items by name from different locations
around the home. His obvious delight
when asked to 'bring work vest"' showed how much
he enjoyed his work!
Late 2006 Deb bravely managed a ten hour car
trip from NC to Florida to visit Angela and she
was impressed with Angus' obvious pleasure at
meeting Angela again. The photos below
show their reunion, along with Chris, and
Angela's young son Tanner.
