Kanzu joined several of his K-9 and human friends for a ‘Pet Therapy’ visit to Valley Preparatory School in Redlands. Imagine our surprise and how welcome Kanzu felt when we arrived to see many of the students in their gym t-shirts complete with a large pictures of the school mascot: a beautiful lion. Kanzu was one of 5 dogs to visit the school through our Pet Therapy program headed by Enlighten Dogs. The students enjoyed a presentation that explained the origin of the modern K-9 descended from wolves; how dogs have evolved to have different traits and jobs; how to meet, great and interact with an unfamiliar dog; and tips on training the students’ own dogs. Kanzu’s K-9 friends included; aGerman Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel, Pit Bull and Siberian Husky. The group showed off and entertained the students with a variety of tricks and work including cart pulling, agility, speaking and shaking to name just a few of their ‘tricks’. Finally, the highlight of the day was when some of the students ran with the dogs and most especially ran Kanzu through some of the agility obstacles. All of the dogs were fantastic ambassadors and we think Kanzu may have created some new dog agility enthusiasts.
