[shayandwildlifepack]

One of our hyperfixations/special interests (we aren't quite sure which it is, lol) is service dogs.

Does anyone want to hear (or see, lol) us rant about service dogs?

If multiple beings say that they want us to rant about service dogs, we will post at least one post about service dogs!!

Samwise: he is almost always at Carter’s side, and while she keeps him on a harness whenever she’s out in public, he's unleashed when she's home. He only leaves her side when he's off duty or if something's seriously wrong, and he feels the need to get help. With the latter, he's been trained to get the attention of someone else by barking and will grab at their clothing to try and pull them to Carter's location. He'll also bark to deter someone away from Carter if they're getting too close to her when she's upset, or if he feels they're a threat.
