Pokerface...This is an wonderful thread! I agree with America mom..you have renewed my faith in mankind. I didn't think of giving a way a dinner which is an amazing idea. Also, do you need more funds? If so, please PM me please.

Your timing of this thread is interesting. I too felt like I wanted to do something to spread a little Christmas cheer today.

Since I had no idea what to do, I took my big furry loveable Leonberger dog to town and walked him up and down Main street. I had a bag of treats with me which I handed out to senior citizens and children so that he would do tricks for them.

He posed with many families for Christmas pictures and put lots of smiles on lonely faces. Its heart warming to watch how a big dog and a few treats can spread such joy.

Many Leonbergers in the US are used for therapy work. My boy Micah just turned one year old. In another 8 or 9 months I plan to have him certified to do therapy in hospitals and nursing homes. In the mean time we are going to continue to do a little freelance Christmas therapy, since it was such a big hit today.

Bless you OP for what you are doing!!!
