ABOUT SOPHIE

Pet Therapy – The Good Dog Foundation

“Sophie was a six week old puppy when she was found by a NYC animal control officer. She was all alone in a drainage culvert in the Bronx, NY. She had an obsession with drainage pipes. I wonder if she was looking for her mother.

She failed her first temperament evaluation at the ASPCA and appeared on Good Morning America as an example of a puppy you should not adopt. But my granddaughter Lucy persuaded me to adopt her. She had confidence in Sophie and she was right. Slowly, her behavior improved as a result of being socialized by many loving and patient people at the ASPCA.

She was certified as a therapy dog by The Good Dog Foundation. She worked for years with a special group of people who had been convicted of animal cruelty. Some of these people had killed their own dog and it is very important that these people have a dog they can apologize to… a stand in for their animal victim.

Sophie made numerous visits to Ground Zero.”
