My thirteen year old son returned home to Austin TX from the Boy Scout 100 Year Jamboree. The Jamboree was ten days in Washington DC.  Even though he no longer needs his seizure assistance dog, Ginger, she still is very close to him and was so joyful in her soft way. After the normal "love fest" she followed him around the house and you could see the smile in her eyes. It is a very gratifying to be loved this much by any one or any dog.
