Service dog Cynthia

A friend of my dog will be on text book of social studies in Japan.
Her name is Cynthia who was service dog in Japan.

We met her in the park when my dog Sheena was still really young.
Sheena couldn't play with other dogs easily but with Cynthia she could be a friend.
Before I met her I only new guide dog and police dog as working dogs. But she was service dog which is helping and supporting his or her owner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_dog

Already more than 14 years has past after I met her. While that she and her owner Kimura-san spread about service dog in Japan a little by little and now they will be in text book.

I remember that when Cynthia and Kimura-san came to my school to give us some lectures. I went to Cynthia and patted her face as usual in the park. But when she was in park she was just playing as a dog but when she was working I should've not patted. I learned from them a lot and I really liked Cynthia.
Now she already past away and Sheena is too old to run around park like when Sheena and Cynthia did.
But still it's easy to get image clearly of them running together in my mind.

This is really happy news for me. And this news reminded me many good memories too.
