PAALS (Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services) is a wonderful organization and one that I get to, from time to time, help out by updating their photography.
Last week I met Tate and his Yellow Lab, Grace. While Grace is still training, she and Tate will graduate soon. She can open and close doors, turn on and off light switches, retreive practically anything and distinguish between a cell phone and a cordless phone and the list really does go on and on. She will help Tate, who suffered an aneurism that left him paralyzed on his left side. I also met Jeff and his Labradoodle, Ginger. She takes comands from Jeff, who uses a computer to speak.
Below are some photos of their most recent training, including some portraits of Tate and Jeff with their moms and dogs. If you'd like to learn more about PAALS or how to volunteer or donate, please go to www.paals.org.
