He has learned to recognize even the smallest signs of a potential trigger, and responds with a gentle nudge of his nose to bring his owner’s attention back to the moment.

As Jax gets closer to retirement, their story is a beautiful example of the life-changing impact of service dogs and the special bond they share with those they serve.

Although elegant in appearance, this breed was developed for its courage, determination, and ability to pursue small prey. Its athletic build allows it to move with impressive speed, agility, endurance, and combines a gentle appearance with a surprisingly bold character.
