and a joy to have around.

I know a woman with a support dog (her current dog is at least her second one that I know of) and while I'm not privy to exactly why she needs this dog, he is, and his predecessor was, completely awesome. Plus, when this current dog was new, she was very firm with her training of him, so that he'd behave, be the support companion she needed, and be welcome everywhere.
