Canine Assistants Scrapbook Layouts
Here are a few layouts from a Canine Assistants Scrapbook that you can copy to honor that special member of your family into your scrapbooks. Do you have a fantastic canine that you need to do some dog themed scrapbook layouts for? Why not an entire Album?
The Golden Retriever Windy Scott who is featured here in these layouts was for many years a
Canine Assistant as her jacket proudly displays. The photos of
Windy depict her in
her work as a Canine Assistant reading with children. Here, she even has her own book plate design. Other photos show her at home with her "people" family and as a mother with her "fur" families. Many of her puppies have also been trained to be Canine Assistants so her legacy lives on and on.
Windy is even famous. As you will see she has her own
Hollywood Star, she was
indicted into the 2007 Animal Hall of Fame, and is one of the puppies on the
cover of the Milk-Bone Dog Biscuits package. Do you have this box in your home?

Canine Assistants Honors Windy

Canine Assistants' service dogs open doors, pull wheelchairs and turn on lights. But the most important contribution the service dogs offer is the self-esteem and happiness they create - and the social barriers they help remove.
