"Sheba's a certified therapy dog. She has to comply to a global standard, which means re-testing every two years. She has to be able to sit while I walk away, restrain herself when other people are around, treat wheelchairs appropriately, be petted, things like that. She has the hardest time when other dogs are around."
                 "What made you want to certify Sheba?"
"I saw therapy dogs on TV twelve years ago, and when we got Sheba eight years ago, we started immediately with her. It took a lot of training and patience, but she's very good at what she does. She is such a happy dog."
