Grace - 90 yrs old, Bette, 8 yrs old
Bette (a senior citizen herself!) helped celebrate the 90th birthday of a family member in August, 2010. She pulled the wheelchair down the hall of the nursing home, walking alongside on leash, and got pats from many residents and visitors who fondly reminisced about their own pets. Bette was an AKC Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog International certified.
