We had an Ambassador gig this week-end, at the local YMCA, for a kids mentoring program. We normally don't have this many dogs all at the same place. They all did pretty well though! Mikko got a little cranky with the GSD, and the little dogs don't care for the big dogs...other than that, we were fine.
There was a girl, maybe 8 or so, who was severely autistic, who was making very fast, jerky movements, etc, which Mikko is not used too. I wasn't sure how he would do with her. I shouldn't have even second guessed my good boy! Bad Momma! He let her pet him and they got a picture taken together. He was actually the only dog their that she chose to pet, and wasn't helped by her grandparents. It was pretty cool, how happy her grandparents were to see that. Gave me a warm fuzzy.
You could tell the lady taking the pic didn't know much about dogs - she kept asking us to squeeze together...Yeah, these dogs don't really know eachother, we aren't about to all squeeze together!
