MUSKIE is a Standard Curly Fleece male born to Rutlands Mountain Maid and TP Cool Dude on 12th May
2003. He arrived in
Chicago from Rutland Manor
in Australia at 10pm on 23rd
July, 2003. All his
training was
done by Jean
Buending, with
Jeff an
encouraging and
supportive
influence.
He passed his puppy training with flying colors and became a Certified TDI Therapy Dog at
TWELVE MONTHS OF AGE. Muskie is owned by Jean and Jeff B in Chicago and Jean has trained him for this wonderful work.
Muskie completed his training and testing
and was certified by Therapy Dogs, Inc. as a Certified Therapy Dog
by 12 months of age! He completed much of the training and testing late July 04 and became certified for senior living centers which was quickly followed by him completing his tests for hospitals. Jean says: "We are so proud of our "little" boy, who just happened to have only been in America for one year and one day.
 Muskie also got his Advanced Degree at the Linden Oaks Psychiatric Hospital, which is part of the Edward Health Systems in Naperville IL.
