Shepherds are some of the best dogs I've seen. We have a neighbor 2 house down that was hit by a car walking in the morning and hurt very badly. Over the last 15 years he has had 2 Shepherds that he trained as helpers ( lack of a better word ) they wear a harness and help the Gentleman walk and even get out of his chair by giving him a pull . They have kept him mobile and aided in his recovery . I will try to get a picture of him walking .Our Shepherd has a fan club in the neighborhood. 4 sets of neighbors kids and grandkids, plus a couple adults, and 1 little old lady who has lingering effects from a stroke.
They all have to greet her and give her lots of petting.
The lady with the stroke starts calling (hi big lady) to her when she sees us out for a walk. So we'll stop in so gypsy can get her hug and scratches.
That lady just lights up with a great big smile.
