Brooklynn, my older dog, has three Canine Good Neighbour (Citizen) certificates from the Canadian Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club, and the Human Animal Bond Association of Canada. She has gone through multiple levels of obedience classes and was preparing for therapy work prior to the Ontario ban. She was a leash-free park dog for the first four years of her life (pre-ban). My now almost seven-year-old grandson lived with her for six years and they adored each other. She was the most patient and tolerant of all of us!!

These photos give you a clear picture of one of the reasons why I left Ontario.
