TurtleΒ has spent April working hard on his skills to become a PTSD service dog. His new favourite skill has to be βmy lapβ because he gets to squeeze a cuddle session into his day. He has been taking his skills on the road and has enjoyed many field trips to places like the mall and Aggie Days, where he met many children, farm animals and even a few rodeo princesses.
