The Olympic Games are based on the skills the Susquehanna Service Dogs need. Dogs will follow instructions, ignore distractions, retrieve objects, demonstrate agility and of course, show their love for their owners. Most importantly, these games highlight the teamwork and bond between owner and dog. Susquehanna Service Dogs aims to create a bond between partners and their service dogs. When this bond exists, individuals and service dogs don't just work together. They become family.
