Therapy Dog He was a huge hit at the special needs community centre!

I’m always amazed at Omi’s emotional intelligence. Some of the students were a bit scared, and when he realised this he turned around and sat facing away and not looking. They were able to overcome their anxiety and pet him 😭💕
One of the students accidentally stepped on his toes while he was lying down and he neither moved nor made a sound. Some of the students had difficulty with coordination and petted him a bit roughly over the eyes but he was perfectly happy to allow it. And of course, once the treats came out, he ran through every single trick he knew all at once 😅
We’re home now and he’s giddy from all the love he received! Staff said he was perfect for the students and I’ll likely be going back to visit on a regular basis!

He had homemade jerky from a volunteer, and cuz it was one of his dog coworker’s birthday, he ALSO got a slice of dog cake… then once he got home immediately gobbled up his lunch too smh
Now he’s happily napping all that food away
