Race, the Dog of the Day
Name: Race
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie
Home: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Race is a special dog. He makes me laugh, and keeps my spirits up. I have a lot of fun training him. He is a trained service dog, to help people with disabilities. I use him to do demonstrations, to show people how important it is for handicapped people to have service dogs to make their lives easier. He picks thing up, turns the lights on/off, and opens doors.

    He also does obedience, agility, flyball, and he is a working dog - he herds sheep. He likes herding the best, it's what he was bred to do. It is not as easy as people think to train a border collie, they are smarter than you sometimes! He's the most important of all my dogs to me, he's the perfect dog.
