Job title:

What's up dog?

My girl has numerous roles. She is my psychiatric assistance dog, in the Minddog jacket, enabling me to function day to day in society. In her down time, shes a family dog, shes a care dog for our elderly neighbour, shes a very well known doggy pillar of her community, well known for her reputable outstanding behaviour and ability to show off her extensive bag of tricks. People only know me as Pips Human, and Im entirely humbled to own that title.

Pip collects humans everywhere she goes. One of her most important roles is helping me fly. When she hits the airport, she turns heads. Everyone wants a pat. Nobody can walk past her without turning their head and smiling. she doesnt just help me fly - she lifts the mood of the whole plane. She collects people wherever she meets them. Particularly kids - she is so gentle and patient and will encourage and coach them to play her games. Shes great for breaking down dog fears in kids. She also does puppies - teaches them manners and how to behave socially. plays with them in age appropriate ways. Shes universally adored, and its all of her own making. Expect maybe I taught her a few manners. But its mostly her!
