In 2017, my beautiful boy passed away after a sudden decline in health. There was nothing I asked this dog to do that he didn’t try: herding, agility, tracking, rally, obedience, therapy visits, hiking, and dancing!
In 2013, Loki made a school-year’s worth of visits (18 in all) at a local elementary school where students from one of the combined 5/6 grades practiced their reading once-a-week by reading to Loki. More about that elsewhere in the blog.
