"My Tara"
Mike and Claudia-
"I'm not sure if you remember us, Ray and Kathy Miranda. We bought a female
pup from you in August 2005. We're still on your page 3 of your pics pages.
At any rate I just wanted to update you on Tara (the name we had given her.
She is now a full fledged Therapy Dog and is licensed as such. She also has
her CGC (which she passed with flying colors on her first try!)
She has
become the "go to dog" at our program, as she is the dog every child goes
to! She works with an anger management group of pre-teens and teens in the
inner city, works with special needs children of all ages in the suburbs,
and also does a reading program with elementary children! The schools she
works at have had significant changes since the programs have come in.
Childrens' reading levels have jumped 1-2 grades higher, anger issues are at
all time low, and some of the special needs children have been able to be
integrated back into their public schools.
"Andre and Tara"
Her temperment and ability to
"read" the children is extrodinary to say the least! She responds to any
child who has her leash. Two types of programs we do are teaching children
how to train a dog to do a Rally-O competition.
Tara knows her job, and in
doing so the kids have their self esteem boosted by them "training" her to
do the course.
"Mia and Tara"
The reading program is more relaxed and the kids just read
to her and she loves the attention. The children thrive as there is no one
there to get frustrated or correct their slow reading.
"Reading"
She's also the dog
everyone wants to take home with them (trainers too! lol!) She's been the
BEST dog and we can't thank-you enough for her!. . . ".
Thanks again!
Kathy Miranda
"It would be our pleasure to share this story with others. By all means post it and I am including pictures also for you . . "

"We do remember you folks and your hopes for Tara very clearly. I am so happy
that you have taken time to share her accomplishments with us. We have a
growing number of Goldens in training and service. We are so pleased to be
playing a small role in providing these puppies! "
"It would be a priviledge to share her progress! "
"Let me know and again thank you for making our day!!"

"I have a couple more pictures here and wanted to add one more thing
regarding Tara. When I had gotten my French bulldogs (1st Nitty,
then 4 months later Neo) Tara became their surrogate mother. They
slept near her stomach or on her, she guided them and housebroke
them within two weeks! With Frenchies this is almost unheard of as
most owners complain how extremly difficult it is to housebreak
them. I owe it all to Tara, she became the mama and taught them
everything. They still run to her and she still cleans them. If
she has a bone or a toy and they walk up, she gives it to them. Not
so with my other Golden Ozzy, he'll show his teeth and growl. But
he also has a soft spot for Tara, as he has never once growled at
her." Kathy
