Ava & Skilled Companion Dog Oliver

During the two years Oliver was in training he became known as "Mr. Mom" because he loved taking care of very young puppies and would spend hours in the whelping box with them. Because of his nurturing and gentle nature he was partnered with Ava when she was just four years old. Ava has spina bifida and Oliver helps her in many ways including supporting her while she stands and walks. "Oliver is the best dog in the world!" says Ava.
