Maizy's Page

Text Box: Maizy is approximately 3 years old. She was rescued, so we really don't know. She looks like a Labrador, German shorthair, and 3 or 4 other breeds all mixed up. We don't care. When I saw the Pet Partner dogs in action, I thought Maizy would fit right in. She likes people. At first, she didn't know what to make of all the action, noise, kids, and the other dogs. Now when she sees my therapy backpack come out , she starts making funny noises and running back and forth to the front door. She knows, she's happy. The Pet Partner training took us about 3 months to finish. Maizy was fairly well obedience trained to begin with. But that's just the first step. Pet Partner training teaches the dog and handler what to do in the different situations that can come up when they're working. Maizy's favorite food - peanut butter. Anything with peanut butter. Second favorite - that would be the last bite of whatever my wife is eating. Maizy will sit right in front of Denise, with the saddest eyes you've ever seen, until she gives in. Maizy enjoys running in the woods. She'll smell the track of an animal and then run one way, then the other trying to figure out where it went. She'll do that for hours. Then sleep for most of the next two days. Of all the places we visit, Maizy like the nursing homes the best. I think it's because she can stay longer with each person. - Bob
