Harley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Harley
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Home: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
 
   This is Harley. He is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, or Toller, for short, and was six months old in this picture. Harley is the most loving dog I have ever met. He loves people and he loves tennis balls. He really loves people who throw tennis balls. He brings a smile to the face of every one he meets. When he is older I hope to have him tested as a Therapy Dog so that he can bring joy into the lives of others like he does for me every day.

    He does not have his Therapy dog designation yet, we went to have him tested & they said he was too young. :( In the meantime, we have been working very hard and having fun teaching him to be a working retriever. He loves to retrieve more than anything else and he has already passed his basic certification to earn the title of WC. What made this even better was that he was barely nine months old at the time. He has grown into those paws (and ears) to be a very handsome boy. He is always a happy dog and has a very sweet temperament. He loves people - especially anyone who will throw tennis balls for him! I still hope to have him tested for the Therapy dog program in the future.
