Please watch if a dog has left its pawprints on your hear...

It wasn't clear what happens to a service dog after they are retired?
But what happens when an assistance dog retires? Did I miss something in the video? Where does it go when it has stopped working in its older age?
반갑습니다 ㅎ❤
I can’t figure out how to have the opportunity to have an assistance dog. The freedom I imagine would be immeasurable. Please donate if you can. People get repeated service dogs while others wait for their first. The years pass quickly and the opportunity to really live grows less. Thanks to those of you who donate your time, money or any amount of you, I thank you and may you always be blessed.
What a beautiful, wonderful dog!
Were you able to sue the doctors who did a "slip of a hand during surgery?
Hello! I'm interested in the IguVerse project and I think that it would be great if you could collaborate! They are making a gaming project where people will share 1 percent (or more!) of their in-game income with animal welfare organizations. I think that they could be great help to you!

That is just awesome that there are now dogs for people who suffer with dementia!! They are just so intelligent these dogs & I think the trainers are just incredible too. Thank you to all the trainers & dogs out there helping people with dementia.
