Hi. Thanks for responding. I know what you mean exactly about those "special dogs". I happen to have one. I have a Service Dog named Grace who is 9 years old. She's been in service for 7 years. When she was almost 2 one day she suddenly began letting me "know" about a half hour before I have migraine attacks that are daily. We have it timed very well that when she warns me, I get a pill from her vest pocket and it usually nips it in the bud. (I haven't had to go to the ER for it for a couple of years now. Many people think all service dogs have to be big and don't understand that its all in the brain. I've searched the web for a similar breed of dog that is like mine and have been unable to find one that proves that she is indeed very special. I once read that if you have 750 trained service dogs all together that maybe ONE of them may have the type of innate ability that my dog Grace has. You see, Grace is a 5.5 pound Maltese. She's more than like my left hand or something, she';s a part of me. All of my family and in laws have known her and accepted her for many years. For example if we have a large party at an eating establishment, no matter how fancy, Grace is always there. She's better behaved then most children. I have a mat that she lays on and is always very mellow and always goes with the flow. In fact, My daughter is getting married in San Diego at my sister-in-laws's home which overlooks the ocean. This will be in July. There will be about 30 guests 1/2 will be family of my daughter's and her fiance's and they have known Grace for years also. As the mother of the bride, one might think that I am worried about sticking out. But Grace IS FAMILY. When she was a baby, before her gifts developed, when I got her, she weighed only 10oz. A can of Coke was way bigger than she was. She was a baby shrimp. Now she's just a shrimp. I've been involved with a private online service dog support group for people who have depression, bi polar, ptsd or anything brain related such as fibro and learned all the rules and laws. We've also had gatherings in central Ca. just above Santa Barbara and the people are the kindest group of people I've ever met. If anyone is interested in this group, please contact me and I'll be glad to give you some information about this wonderful support group. They're very helpful and if somebody's having a bad day, they say so and others chime in and help cheer the others up. Or if you're thinking of getting a dog, they can tell you what to look for in a future dog and such.
