[box] AR Says: My pup personality is very nonjudgmental – affectionate with everyone – protective – nurturing – curious about the unfamiliar and playful. He’s more like the person this pup wants to be and tries to be but has a hard time being all the time in his baseline human personality.[/box]

[box] PR Says: doing things, and organizing events that makes other pups smile and have fun and find their home.[/box]

[box] DM Says: Helping others, those in need, comforting others. I also love to play, and i feel free and without the chains and boundaries of my human self when i pup out. I can be a rough and tumble pup, a warrior a protector, a service dog. I can show all the things inside that people usually dont notice because of my size or whatever else. None of that matters when im in headspace[/box]

[box] BS Says: Freedom to be myself and to love, protect and help others[/box]

[box] EC Says: I’m a service Dobie, so guarding, aiding, and providing comfort. Sure, I pup the everliving hell out every now and again, and when I do I do it hard mode. But for the most part I’m the dog sitting diligently by someone’s side, keeping an eye out, providing snuggles and hugs, help with their disabilities, or whatever I can do to provide them comfort and access.[/box]

[box] VA Says: Simply hearing the words “good pup” get my tail wagging[/box]

[box] BM Says: I’m with V on this one. It’s the easiest way to get me wagging. Being a service pup is something I adore. One thing in particular is the different interpretations of what a service pup is and can be.[/box]
