Jet in the New York Times!

I was asked not to make this common knowledge until it came out, but the NY Times did an article about dogs for PTSD, and Jet is in it :)

Yep :) I've seen a lot of those articles recently. The current theory is that they're not actually learning how to read, but able to recognize even complex symbols such as words on flash cards, and associate them with the proper commands. On rainy days, we play find the treat under the cup. You know, with the three cups, you put it under one, then move them around. It's easy for one with such a nose, but it's a fun way to teach him the "find" command :)
