問題詳情

Lee Ann Laraway has polio and is not able to move very much. Most things are out of reach for her. Her dog Jeannie, aLabrador retriever, acts as her arms and legs. Jeannie understands 72 or more different commands. On a shopping trip, she canget cash for Lee Ann at the bank or a candy bar at the drugstore. She can pay the cashier and get change back. Jeannie bringsthings to Lee Ann and puts them in her lap.Jeannie was trained at a facility called Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), located on twelve acres of land in SantaRosa (California). The land was donated by the late Peanuts cartoonist Charles Shultz. Founded in 1975, CCI is the largestnon-profit provider of assistance dogs, and is known worldwide not only for the excellence of its dogs but for the quality andlongevity of the matches it makes between dogs and people.CCI trains four types of assistance dogs--service dogs, skilled companions, hearing dogs and facility dogs--to master over 40specialized commands. Trainers, called handlers, work with Labrador retrievers and golden retriever for hours a day, but notevery dog is good enough to be a working dog. CCI uses advanced technology to meticulously select and pair dogs for breeding.Volunteer breeder caretakers provide homes for the breeder dogs to whelp the puppies, and return the puppies to CCI nationalheadquarters in Santa Rosa at age eight weeks. From there the puppies are placed with volunteer puppy raisers across the nationfor socialization and obedience training. Between the ages of fifteen and eighteen months the puppies return to one of five CCIRegional Training Centers across the country for six months of training. After the training completes, each dog is teamed withan applicant during an intensive two-week training period, team training.The work is serious business. Hearing dogs alert their owners to sounds like ringing telephones, doorbells, and stovetimers. Other dogs work with severely disabled patients like eight-year-old Noah Habib, who communicates with a specialcomputer. He likes it when people come to ask him about his dog. His father says people who normally might not approachthem will come over and ask to pet her and play with her, ask what she does, and want to say hi to Noah.When Lee Ann Laraway comes home with Jeannie and her groceries, Jeannie helps her open the door. “You can train a dogto do a lot of things," said Lee Ann, “but you can not give it the heart to do the job, and that is what a good working dog has."
