Default Smooth Service dogs for Alzheimer patients

http://makeashorterlink.com/?K1BA21E26



from the article:

The biggest challenge was finding the right dog for the task. "We
unsuccessfully tried this with many types of dogs, until we got Polly, who
is a collie shorthair that came to us from Finland," said Ben-Yosef. "These
dogs seemed appropriate for Alzheimers because they have a calm nature, high
intelligence and are very sociable with an excellent sense of smell and good
spatial sense."

Chris and her lovely smoothies, Zeffie & Pablo
