Meet ELLA! I am a very laid back Golden Retriever, and I am my Dad and Mom's pride and joy. They have trained me very well, in fact, so well - sometimes I don't even need my leash.
Things I Have Learned from Humans: Sometimes it's okay to be the leader of the pack! But, sometimes, it's just okay to follow. I have learned how to be a great listener, and what it takes to be a best friend.
Things My Owner Has Learned from Me: Patience and control. How to give and take, and that great dogs aren't just born - it take a lot of time, hard work and dedication.
Favorite Trick: I don't know if it's a trick or not, but I love to lay on my side for belly rubs.
Favorite Treat: I'm a great girl, I love everything! But, most of all - rides around the Peninsula in my mom's convertable with the top down!
Make No Bones About It...I Am a Great Therapy Dog Because: I show compassion every day. And, I favor visiting elderly women - they're so kind and gentle! I am very respectful, and gentle which is true to my breed.
My Favorite Place to Visit: Sarah Reed Retirement Center. My volunteer handlers are named Randy and Alice.
