Eagan dog series #19

Dave Kettering and his Siberian Samoyed dog, Sasha, visited us at our weekly Eagan Rotary club lunch meeting. Sasha, 9 years old, loves peanut butter and winter. Sasha works as a therapy dog doing 3 things:
1. Animal assisted activities: nursing home visits, reading with kids, etc.
2. Animal assisted therapy: speech, physical and occupational
3. Crisis therapy after: floods, tornadoes, big accidents

Therapy dogs are absolutely wonderful canines. They do such useful and loving work for their owners. We need more of them! Sasha is a beauty!
