Rafi Ami, My Service Dog
|
These are pictures of Rafi Ami.
He has a mixed heritage. His mother is a poodle, his father is a Cavalier St Charles Spaniel. The breed is known for its intelligence, loyalty and eagerness to please. Moreover,they are easy to train and have a low hypo-allergenic affect. Every service dog is trained to provide special assistance. Among other services, Raif must keep me alert, and on track.

Travel is a learning experience for
Rafi and -- because I travel so much -- it
is essential that he perform in a variety of environments whether in a subway or on a mountain trail.
As with all service dogs, his training was
consistent and continuous,
At six months of age, (in this photo),
he had quite a way to go to
reach the high skill level
that Micah attained.
As a puppy, he was very affectionate, fun
and funny, and a delight to watch,
train or cuddle.
