	PCA -- Papillon Service Dog Page
		If the dog is walking along a busy street with his owner, who drops the keys and has cued the dog to retrieve them, the last thing needed is for that backfiring bus to terrify the dog, sending him into the path of traffic.
		Normally, the dog who enjoys obedience training, has a calm disposition, and is not easily excitable or frightened, has the best chance of succeeding as a service dog.
		But even the timid, quiet dog who doesn't care for outside attention can be trained to be a home-service dog, doing retrievals for those with arthritis, with bad knees, with aching backs, or by doing hearing-ear work for those who must take out their hearing aids at night.
