4H service dog training program

This Oregonian story about a 4H service dog training program is extremely neat. Here we are in a rapidly urbanizing area, the Metro-designated target for most of the Teeming Hordes yearning to be free of the Governator's state; but, what's a kid who likes animals going to do if farms become suburban developments? Instead, allowing kids to socialize service dogs, and the service dogs to socialize the kids, is extremely beneficial to our society, not to mention the blind who just about have to live urban, anyway.
