I want to claim a Tracker Dog!
Username: Pandora!
Tracker ID: #040
Dog's name: Amicus Latin for friendly.
Story: It was clear from the beginning that Amicus was never going to succeed as a protection animal, or really a working animal of any kind. As a young pup, Am spent their time mostly in solitude, preferring to play gently with soft toys or nap in the sun rather than violently wrestle with the rest of their siblings. After failing to show the disposition needed for personal protection, police work, or search and rescue Amicus's breeder and handlers were perplexed on how to find an appropriate placement for this laid back, affectionate beast. Thankfully, one of Am's handlers had an out of box idea for an occupation for a tracker dog: a therapy animal! Amicus took to their training as a therapy animal like a fish to water. In fact, it seemed like their personality bloomed. Amicus's goofy, affectionate, and sensitive character was seemingly nourished by working with people who needed some help in life. Soon enough Amicus found a placement in a group home for troubled youth, and both the children and the tracker dog immediately grew to love each other. The kids would spend all day playing with Am, throwing a ball, digging in the sand box, or chasing butterflies. The kids could pull their fur, poke their nose, or hang off of their back and Amicus felt a fierce love and loyalty to his children at the home.
