Max maintaining his overwatch of the pack even in the car... Max is my service dog but more importantly he is an ambassador to show others the benefits of having and working with a service dog. He often will trigger on someone next to me or in the same room. He is trained to put his head on my lap when I'm stressed sitting down or lean against me if I'm standing. He grounds me instantly when I look down and see him looking up at me asking if I'm ok. If you see Max and I out and about and he walks over to I already know how your day is going...just enjoy him as I do and soak up his love. Basic rules for engaging with someone with a Service Dog: (Max and I are an exception) 1)Try not to bring additional attention to the handler or dog. 2)Engage the handler, not the dog. 3)Do not ask why the handler has a service dog.
My daughter needs a medical alert dog and is living in the dorms at college. Her dormmate across the hall already has her dog. That dog runs between the rooms, and the girls have reached the point where they just leave the doors open. It's quite the blessing.

Well said brother! And I will add service dogs are still dogs and can sometimes drift for a second…
