Dogs become ‘good neighbours’

Four Prince Edward County dogs officially became “good neighbours” Sunday, earning Canine Good Neighbour Program certification through the Canadian Kennel Club. Successfully completing a series of 12 tests, from left, were: Carol Sordoni and Charlie, a Labradoodle; Maggie Haylock and Briar, a Shepherd/Husky/Lab mix and Gay Attwood with her Border Collies Deuce and Sasha. At centre, is Janet Wagar with her Standard Poodle, Dorothy. Dorothy received certification last year and was chosen as the “meet and greet” dog for Sunday’s tests which were held in the green space at Canadian Tire. Test evaluator was Ken Campbell, of Winstead Dogs.
