Now a happy dog story, "un handi chien"

Fabien of Castres, age 32 has a genetic illness which means he spends his life now in a wheelchair. Last October he was brought together with his life saving friend Flag. Flag is a dog who is trained to help his handicapped owner called in France a " handi chien" Flag is a cross between a labrador and a golden retriever and is 3 years old. He has spent his short life under training and responds to 52 commands, his training has cost between 15,000 to 20,000. The couple are becoming stars of news and will appear on France Television soon.
We think our golden retriever knows at least 100 words, many of them French, not saying she responds to all but you cannot have a conversation without her picking up on certain words, " lets go" is her favourite expression and " teatime" is probably the favourite of both dogs!
