How you know your dog enjoys being a therapy dog ... |
Desi wags his tail when I take out his special "work vest" and tell him its time to go to work. He seems genuinely happy to see people on his visits. |

More about Desi... |
Desi is a Havanese, which is a toy breed and the national dog of Cuba, the first of his kind in PAWSitive Therapy Troupe! He is named after a famous Cuban, Desi Arnaz. He lives with another Havanese, a rescue named Tico, who is a therapy dog-in-training as well. In his free time, Desi enjoys playing with Tico, and "chase games" with his favorite toys. We are also participating in the Dancing Paws freestyle dance group. |
