Last June some of you may remember we got an assittance dog for our son James... Well they finally got the pictures up on their site.

All ya have to do is go to /www.4pawsdogs.org/teams_2008.htm click on 2008 teams scroll down to the June class where you'll find James and Takoda Runner and you can see James and his dog..... Oh ya the other to people are my wife and me....hope you enjoy...James is having a blast with his dog...It sure does make DR. visits much easier among other things...

Neat stuff.

That page takes forever to load though, fyi to anyone visiting. Lots of jpegs all over the place.

I should have mentioned it takes awhile to load...

Trying to load it now... It's been about 3 minutes and it's still waiting for 170+ items to load. I'll try again later. Thanks for posting this.

lol ya, it does take around 5 minutes (at least for me) for it all to download. But well worth the wait.

Thanks for sharing it Nor, I really enjoyed going through them.

Thanks for posting this, Nor. I've spent a good while looking at all those kids and their dogs...it's so touching.

Michelle i can say those kids that were in the June class were some of the nicest and happist kids you would ever want to meet....living down there if you ever got a chance to visit a class for a day you would really enjoy it.

Cool pics. Looks like some real happy kids in those.

Do they assign a dog to you, or do you have some say in which dog gets paired to your child?

I requested info on what it takes to be a foster home for the dogs in training. As some of you know, I lost my girl last year and have been thinking about getting another dog and this might be a good middle ground for me. I can help them and help a great cause, and have that connection to a dog again, w/o actually calling it 'mine'. Just not ready for that part yet.

So thanks for posting nor b/c I might end up being a foster home for one. We'll see what they have to say.

Thank you for the update. I'm glad things are going so well.

I'd love to be involved in something like this.

Nice...

FloridaFan we get a Q%A sheet then we send i a video..Between the two they pick out a dog for the kid...but they train 2 dogs as all dogs have personalities also sometimes things don't work out so they switch the dogs durning classes.. This happened durning our class... the one dog got too attached to the child and wouldn't let any other dogs near him, which isn't good with the dog being in public so much....
