What's up dog?

Tucker is 7 years old now and accompanies me to work in the Responsible Pet Eduction Program. We educate Kindergarten Children and Primary School Children how to be safe around dogs and how to be responsible with their pets. We’ve been working in this job since 2018 and previous to that Tucker was a therapy dog for the Delta society and visited Nursing Homes and a Hospital with me. On occasion we still do the odd therapy visit in between our Pet Education job. Tucker takes his job very seriously and loves all the children and staff he gets to interact with. Tucker has had a great impact on the people he meets in his jobs and has put smiles on a lot of faces.
