Jake

I would like to tell you about my dog, Jake. Jake is 1/2 Boston Terrier and 1/2 Chihuahua. I saw a need at my last place of employment (a special education school) for a therapy dog. I got Jake and started right away training him as a service dog. He was so small I had to buy the tiny size service vest for him, the patches barley fit on it! Jake went to the school, hospitals and every place he was requested. Jake can smell when my mom hasn't taken her meds, and alerts me. Jake is a member of dog scouts, Chico, CA. troop 187. Jake has learned about water and loves his hikes. Jake has earned the A.K.C.'s Canine Good Citizen award and had the canine IQ test on Sept. 20, 2009. He tested just under genius, as "brainiac". Jake is registered in the International Designer Canine Registry. He goes in restaurants, stores, malls and is very well mannered. He can go "off leash" in public and has been trained in the "proper greeting" with other dogs. Jake has been in a dog parade, he loves to dress up. He looks pretty cool in shades too. He loves to go anywhere, and rides a horse too!
