  • Those are sweet dogs. Great for the family too.
  • do you mind if i ask what kind of service dog he is! i find it amazing that dogs can help in so many ways!! and lol its cause your preggo!!
  • Service dogs ROCK! Hmmm...Pushkin should get himself a job!
  • He's so cute!!!! If I drop something he picks it up for me.. but he likes my high heels, but he wont chew them. And he has stolen my stuffed animals. @Proudmommy8789 he's a general service dog.. he was trained by inmates... but he has a two week class with my hubby for intense training. My husband has ptsd and tbi with horrible shoulder pain.
  • He sounds fantastic! Is he a big dog? I've heard black labs can get over 100lbs.
  • whats ptsd and tbi? sorry idk... aww thats too cute!!

  • @Alomost4 i feel so nosey i was about to ask that also.
  • I had a service dog in high school due to my severe depression. He knew how to dial 911 from any phone!! He is with a family now whose little boy has seizures! Great dog!
  • @Proudmommy8789 @Almost4 my husband is medically retiring from the army... he's a sniper and was deployed with the 101st airborne, but trained as Special Forces... he was hit multi times by IEDs.. his TBI came from that. Most of his unit came back in body bags from his platoon... that's for the ptsd.. and he has schizophrenio; he talks or sees them...... but ill never have a boring life with him.. he's amazing and we're both OIF veterans. I have my issues too, but none like his.
  • @garagebandfan That's so neat that they know how to dial 911. Was it also a lab?
  • wow! it will never be boring! but i bet its hard sometimes...
  • If he doesn't take his meds, yes it can be difficult. But his dead buddies like me he said. He was married before and they hated her.. but she was abusive to him..
  • aww thats cute well in a werid away. i hope you know what i mean!
  • Thanks! I understand... but his fbi sucks. If I hit his gently with a pillow in the head he blacks out. Had it happen, boy did it scare me... I know what to do now...
  • @molly yeah he was a yellow lab! Cutest sweetest thing also. Im glad im better enough to not need him anymore but man he was sweet!
  • oh wow that would scare me! my mother used to stop breathing at night for like 3 years but it was from stress
