Section 2
After a long time in school, I graduated and my trainer introduced me to BJ. The person who would become my master. We were both excited.
We trained together for several weeks and  became very good friends. Â
She was really nice and we always spent fun-time  together once she took my halter off.
One day the trainer said we were ready and I was  off to a new home with my master and friend.
We shared many years together and had many wonderful experiences. We went shopping, visited friends, ate in fine restaurants, and  traveled across the country.
I took care of BJ.
I knew when she didn't feel  right and could tell if she was  happy or unhappy, sad, grumpy,  or whatever.
I would always try to make  things better for her.
BJ took care of me.

A long time has passed and now I can't help my friend any more. BJ is off to school again and training with a new Service Dog.
I will meet him tomorrow and help him understand his new master. Then I become like my other brothers and sisters. I become a good friend for people in a good family. Â You really couldn't ask for more.
