Yes, Czar and I received our Canine Good
Citizens Certificate 2 years ago, and we perform pet therapy work at a nursing
home in Madison, Wisconsin during the weekends. The residents absolutely
adore him, and it amazes me how intuitive he is to their physical
limitations. He is perfect wheel chair and hospital bed height, so
residents with mobility issues, can move their hand ever so slightly from their
lap to feel his soft, soft fur. He is absolutely amazing with them.
Big, cuddly, gentle giant.......
The only drawback is the temperature within
the nursing home. It is a newer, beautiful facility, however, they have to
keep the temperature around 70 degrees, and Czar can only last bout 30-45
minutes as he becomes way over heated and his drooling becomes excessive when he
overheats. This was also the first time Czar rode an elevator and it was
hilarious....he gets in and lays down for the ride between floors.
I am so incredibly proud of Czar and the
relationship he has with the patients. This is truly an incredible
breed!!!!!
Beth, Czar (Pyr) and Raisa (Alaskan
Malamute) in Rural Wisconsin.
