I have MS. As a result I no longer drive, work, or walk without aide. Mainly because of my mobility problems but also because of other problems I applied for an assist dog. This dog, if I was to received one, was to come from Can-do-canines. CDC is a Twin Cities based organization that provides fully trained assist dogs to challenged folks in our area.
Most of these dogs are from a line bred by CDC for their temperament, ability to learn,
willingness to please, and size among other attributes which I have yet to learn. It has been a long process that was started about 9 months ago when I first applied. Several home visits later We were approved for one of these exceptional dogs.
I have not gotten or even met mine yet but here is what I know so far;
The dog is a male Black Lab.
He is 1.5 years old.
CDC has a sickness in their kennel delaying new pups going out the door..
I should get to meet mine around the 21st of august.
One of my mother's friends has distant relative of his, also from CDC. The line of smaller labs are so smart and sweet.
I don't know his name.
I have not seen him or even a picture yet.
I draw dogs. This is as black lab but not my black lab.
