3 PKC Top Dogs By Mary Ellen Brown Recently, my dog Webster, a standard Long Haired Dachshund, bred by PKC member Ronda Bermke has been busy getting prepared for the role as a 'real live Therapy Dog.' Although not necessarily related to specific therapy work, however helpful, he did complete all three titles; CGC, CGCU and CGCA, proving himself as a real polished community gentleman. He has also trained, tested and qualified for his Therapy Dog registration with Alliance of Therapy Dogs, formerly Therapy Dogs, Inc. Plans for Webster and I are to proudly serve at the Brown County Library, hospice and memory care facilities, Children's Hospital of Milwaukee, and local pediatric wards, crisis centers and the VA Clinic just to mention a few. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a non-verbal patient perk up and actually speak because he/she had a pet therapy dog in their midst. Equally as rewarding are those little children who are confined to a bed, whose eyes get as big as saucers when they see a fluffy doggy in their hospital room. There are big expectations of good things to come for our Therapy Dog Team. When you see us at PKC, please ask about our recent travels and experiences! We d be very happy to share them with you! Important Dates in June June 3-5 ~ PKC Agility Trial, Cornerstone Community Center June 14 ~ Business Meeting, 7 p.m. June 19 ~ Father s Day
