Fozzie is a prime example of the philosophy “Work hard, play hard!” He joined the Zoom Room family with plenty of experience as a service dog, and he obviously delights in his work. Still, when he gets permission to run loose, this boy gets ZOOMIES! He can tear up the Agility course in nothing flat, almost seeming to “float” over every jump. He is such a goofy and happy dog– we could all do well to follow his example and find joy in all the little aspects of our own lives (and follow him on social media, while we’re at it)!
- Favorite Toy: Fozzie’s favorite toy is a golden retriever plush. He treats it like its his baby and is one of the only toys he won’t rip up.
- Favorite Treat: Fozzie’s favorite treat is anything super meaty. He loves a piece of steak or chicken as a reward.
- Favorite Hobby: Fozzie’s favorite hobby is definitely training new tasks and tricks. He has achieved his novice, intermediate and advanced trick titles here at Zoom Room. He does like napping as well.
- Favorite activity at the Zoom Room: Fozzie’s favorite activity at Zoom Room is agility. Having the zoomies at the end of class is close behind!
Fozzie’s owner, Liv, had this to say:
Fozzie’s main job is a multipurpose service dog for me. He performs what we call tasks to help aid my disabilities and chronic illnesses. He went through lots of training and goes just about anywhere with me. One of my favorite things about him is the pride he takes when working for me! He is always so happy to do his job. When I pull out a vest for the day he starts wiggling and gets so excited to start work. On duty and off he loves to do his tasks and you most likely will see him alerting to behaviors and picking up objects when waiting for his turn in class. One of my favorite moments of this was in agility class when I set his leash down for him to run. He did not run and immediately went to pick up his leash as that is a task he performs for me so I don’t have to bend over to help my symptoms from escalating. I am so grateful for him and the work he does for me! We also are grateful for Zoom Room helping us make these happy memories.
