Service Dogs at Events

Yes, get used to it.  When I'm attending something and there is a service dog [or more!] I plan on taking a pic and letting you know.  I want to build awareness that service dogs are force mulitpliers for Veterans! 

This is Dave Rogers, Suffolk County Council Commander, Department of New York.  His dog is Grunt and is 18 months old.  They first met Thursday and of course Mama let out a woof.  Tonight it was Grunt's turn.  As dog handlers we expect these things because, after all, they are dogs and they have to get to know each other.  These things happen.  But the people whose backs were turned? Priceless!

Best of luck to Dave and Grunt on their journey together!
