6. My Shultz was so perfect in my mind.

He was great with everyone young and old. There were things I actually did not teach him that he would do for me to help me with my disability. He was like a genius of the dog world. You gain a extremely tight bond with a service dog. I have had dogs I absolutely loved but it is on an entirely different level when you are depending on that dog to help you. I worked at an animal shelter where I found a German Shepherd who had been given up by her family because there was no way they could afford to get her into the country they had to move to. I could not have another dog at the time so I called my brother and told him and he talked to his wife and then I drove all of the way from Walla Walla Washington to Portland Oregon with a German Shepherd and a Schnauzer who she had just met that day. They were perfect. I fell in love with German Shepherds when my riding teacher had four and my best friend had one when we were small.
