Lily - service dog #2

More pictures in the Photo Album...

Tiger Lily joined the family as service puppy #2 in early 2002. She and Rocky became fast friends and virtually inseparable. She quickly attached herself to Laurie's husband, who found her adoration amusing initially, but today is just as enthralled with her as she with him.

Lily was socialized thoroughly, accompanying Laurie to work, grocery stores, doctor offices, restaurants - participating in all the experiences a service dog in-training should. It was clear early on, however, that life in the public spotlight wasn't what made Lily happy. The service dog organization recognized this and released her to Laurie and her husband to live the life of luxury as a stay-at-home pet dog extraordinaire. It's a job that Lily relishes! She's most often found lazing on the couch or in the lap of Laurie's husband.
