Therapy Dog Tess - Yearbook Photos

My beloved dog Tess - apart from being a total derp at all times - is also a therapy dog at a school for kids with special needs. These are her yearbook photos so far.

She tolerates children prodding, poking and shoving her, and helps them learn how to be gentle, care for others and groom animals!

Her favourite role is lunchtime monitor - for which she gravitates to the messiest eaters like a homing device, and dutifully vacuums up their crumbs.

You might have noticed she has an abundance of excess neck skin - which we postulate she's reserving for when we let her get fat and retire to a life of luxury.
