阿达 the Afghan is Dog of the Day
如果你’ve seen our adorable A-Z狗品种视频 您可能已经注意到一些华丽的阿富汗人拉开序幕的惊人照片“A” breeds. Well, that dog is 阿达 and he’是一只治疗狗和灵感。
Meet 阿达, the 7-year-old therapy Afghan, and our 当天的狗
“我一直想要阿富汗猎犬。在患了某种疾病后，我决定去找一种。我联系了一个阿富汗救援组织，他们建议培训一只小狗而不是一只年长的狗，以解决可能的救援问题。阿达尔从一个充满爱的家庭走进我的生活&是只有10个星期大的8只雌性垃圾中唯一的雄性。”
阿达’的妈妈Terre在她一生中的某个时候都收养了他，当时她正面临着健康问题，正在接受物理治疗以恢复体力。最近离婚了，家里有3个可爱又乐于助人的孩子，特雷（Terre）正在寻找一条服务犬，以减轻孩子的压力并帮助她恢复独立。
“我和阿达现在就像一个人。多年来，我们之间的关系非常紧密。我们可以期待并互相阅读’s minds…只要我们在一起-无论是在狗场，玩捉鱼，散步，去海滩还是拥抱看电视。– we are happy.”
When Terra adopted 阿达, she had 3 rescue cats, her 3 kids and 2 poodles in her home. She told us how right from day one 阿达 loved playing & sleeping with the poodles and cats. Her kids also really enjoyed playing with 阿达 and helped to socialize him.
“He was a rascal and got into all kinds of mischief growing up. From 5 months old to a year I took 阿达 from puppy to adult training classes. He graduated his “CGC” 犬好公民 Program and Service Dog Program at a year old. 阿达 gets along well with all different kinds of animals and people.”
关于阿富汗犬种
特雷（Terre）解释说，阿富汗猎犬在生命的头几年经历了许多身体变化。随着它们的成长，它们的腿变得非常长，并且步态笨拙。他们的皮毛也会变成头发，脱掉外套，每天都要刷牙。即使他们的鼻子/鼻子延伸，它们的面孔也会经历许多不同的外观，他们会发育出Terre所说的猴须，并从下巴上长出有趣的小股。他们成长时最主要的担心是他们的卷曲尾巴，幼仔非常脆弱，直到它们变强壮时才成熟。
特雷（Terre）解释说，任何犬种都可以作为治疗犬，但该犬必须年满1岁才能开始训练。并非所有的狗’个性取决于工作，这取决于许多因素。他们应该很友善和镇定。您可以阅读有关的文章 是什么让这里的治疗犬好.
关于 training 阿达 to be a therapy dog 
“那时，在我身边，我感到更加独立。我的职业是临床&法医科学家和我想念在医院里帮助别人的事情。带着我两个可爱的女儿上大学，只有我一个可爱的儿子在家，我决定参加“治疗犬队”的培训班，以了解Adar是否具有适合做治疗犬的气质。”
特雷（Terre）解释说，训练是广泛的，涵盖了从使他脱敏到发出噪音，与他第一次见面的其他狗（可以在同一天工作）以及与其他年龄段的人接触的所有犬工作得很好的所有方面。
“我和Adar喜欢一起工作，并喜欢他带给所有人的微笑。感动人’危机时刻的生活，温暖的爪子和柔软的皮毛可以改变一切。它’这是一项非常有意义的工作，我们有特殊的纽带，但确实需要每30至45分钟休息一下。经常被陌生人碰触可能会使狗筋疲力尽。”
阿达 and Terre have volunteered at a children’的肿瘤诊所，养老院和一个孩子’的脑损伤中心已有几年了。
“作为治疗犬团队的工作是非常有益和纽带的经历，它使您与狗之间的距离更加紧密。阿达尔通过许多方式丰富了我的生活。在我们的一生中，我们有很多宠物，但总是有一些特殊的宠物，Adar就是其中的一种，它给与他见面的所有人留下了持久的幸福。”
阿达 the superstar
At a dog park event 阿达 was discovered 通过 a photographer and asked to model which has lead to 阿达 now also working as an actor and a model. Terre told us they have a lot of fun on set where he shines.The photos we have seen are just stunning.
阿达 is beautiful. My Mom’多年前，他的朋友饲养了阿富汗人。我一直都很喜欢他们。
阿富汗猎犬很美。一世’我们已经看到其中一些在诱饵活动中奔跑。那里’第101则断言中的一个！
阿达 is such a beautiful dog. We love reading stories about how animals help humans. 阿达 and Terre have such a beautiful relationship.
我爱阿富汗人，他们’如此富豪。多么美妙的故事，那张狗狗般的笑脸说明了一切。
阿达 is such a unique dog! I love that long hair – it’s gorgeous. It is wonderful that 阿达 has been able to help Terre and all of the people he visits as a therapy dog. Animals have a very special healing power. 🙂
我认为它’s so special that animals can help provide therapy and healing to others AND it also helps avoid pets from being euthanized. 阿达 is a very special breed. I swear 阿达 almost looks human in the third photo. Congrats to him for expanding his career. Now he’s a star!
阿达 is absolutely gorgeous and has better hair than most people. Unsurprising that he is a model. It sounds like he has brains and beauty. Terre is very lucky to have him in her life.
Thank you for sharing 阿达’s story, I really enjoyed learning more about Afghans. They are such beautiful dogs and 阿达 sounds very special and sweet.
What a special dog 阿达 is to provide so much TLC to people who need it most. Thanks for sharing this inspirational story!
小时候，阿富汗猎犬在我们附近长大，令我惊讶的是它们的优美和美丽。然后，大卫·弗莱（David Frei）谈到了他如何爱他们。多么雄伟的品种。 TY分享这个故事！再见。
These dogs are so majestic, beautiful and am happy 阿达 was trained to be a service dog, what a beautiful connection and relationship
多么可爱的狗，多么神奇的故事！我记得他们是猎犬，我读过–我以为圣烟看见那只狗在你旁边跑！
I’ve always wanted to see an Afghan in person. They appear to be beautiful dogs. I love how 阿达 is working as a service dog.
永远爱阿富汗人… and Saluki’s …。这样的美丽和优雅。它’很高兴看到它们也能很好地治疗狗！
阿达 is gorgeous! I love that she does therapy work too. I love hearing about therapy animals. I would hope to train one of my cats someday! Thanks for sharing about her!
