Hi everyone. I became a member on 1 April after finding out that my service dog would be a Labrador. I waited for over a year, but 6 April I finally got my dog. His name is Frodo, he is almost one years old, has a black coat and is so sweet, gentle and loving. The first couple of days (weeks) have been exhausting - learning the different commands and simply getting to know the new member of my household. He is a sensitive and attentive dog and I feel so incredibly lucky that he was the dog that I got paired with. I look forward to being an active member of this lovely forum. Kaktus.
Oh Frodo, so handsome! Welcome from me and Xena in NZ. A service Labrador in NZ recently saved a young boy from drowning - the dog was at the pool with his owner, when he noticed a young boy who'd got his foot stuck and couldn't get out of the pool, he couldn't keep his head out of the water. This service dog alerted everybody and the boy was quickly rescued. Such amazing dogs
Hello and welcome to you and Frodo! Congratulations on finally being able to bring him home after such a long wait. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about him and how you two are working together.
Welcome to you and Frodo who is completely stunning from me, Hattie 10 years and our rescue boy Charlie 7 years. I wish you every happiness with your wonderful friend and look forward to hearing all about your life together x

Welcome to the forum, and oh my but Frodo you are gorgeous! Thrilled for you that you have been paired with such a lovely dog
Thank you for the welcome. So far we have been a few places where he did so well, so hopefully in the near future I can write a bit about it.
