In last two years he has missed only a handful of his weekly visits to the local senior homes and hospitals. At the last christmas party at the county Accute Care Center, Champ delighted the patients with his extensive array of tricks, in addition to all the basics: Sit, Down, and Speaking. he also Play's Dead, Backs up, flops onto his side, Shakes, and "High Fives," and then his favorite "the launch the cookie off the nose and into his slobbering mouth trick." Although Champ is only two and a half years old he has already obtained his Canine Good Citizen certification, Therapy Dog certification, and will take his Delta Society-Pet Partners certification test next month.
