Our dog Odie is a Certified Therapy Dog, which means he goes around making people happy - old people, children, and the general population. It makes him happy, too. His tail never stops wagging. Recently, Odie visited a self-contained classroom for special needs kids in a junior high school and, immediately after that hour, forty-five minutes at the Poe Mill Achievement Center, an academic-strengthening program for inner-city elementary school children. Lots of squeals and giggles and pettings and running around outside shouting. Makes a fella tired. Check the photo.
