Today 11 year old Patrick brought in his service dog, Charlie. Charlie has been Patrick's service dog for many years. They were featured on Discovery Health channels show Pets and People: The Power of the Health Connection a few years ago.

It can be found in Part 2 at about 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
We took a video of Charlie "reading" commands but it didn't turn out :( The kids learned that service dogs are "working" and that if they see a dog with a vest on they need to ask before touching (and most of the time we will be told "NO" they can't pet while the dog is working). The kids were all great and very respectful of Charlie and Patrick.
