Working Dogs
Episode #1903
Dogs can help people in many ways. This week on Made in Maine, we’ll learn how Maine dogs help kids read, help shepherds herd sheep, and help those with disabilities get around. Host Lou McNally visits Bucks Harbor shepherd and border collie trainer Dave Cravens as he and his dogs gather lambs from off shore islands. We’ll also drop in on the Patten Free Library in Bath where they rely on certified “reading dogs” to help kids learn to read in a supportive and uncritical environment, and we’ll visit My Wonderful Dog, a service-dog training center in Portland.
