Re: What Is A Volunteer?

I used to be a volunteer along with my dog Gyp who is in the picture.We used to belong to a group called P.A.T. dogs (Pets as Therapy). We used to visit hospitals and care homes where people had to give up their pets. It was lovely to see their faces light up when we used to go .They looked forward to our visits. Sadly my present dog Max would never make a P.A.T. dog as is is very frightened of strange noises. You have to go through an assessment test to check if your dog would be ok. When I stopped the visits,I went on a training session to become an assessor myself.
