Dear MEL Topic Readers,

A crew of Canadian service dogs watched a live musical as part of their training

With a population of just over 30,000, Stratford is a small city on the Avon River in southwest Ontario, Canada. The city hosts an annual theater festival called the Stratford Festival. As the name suggests, the festival features some Shakespearean plays but not as many as it used to do. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of theatre from Greek tragedy to Broadway-style musicals and contemporary works.

Because of the fame and popularity of the festival, some attendants of the performances are accompanied by their service dogs. How do those dogs serve their handlers during a noisy, flashy musical show? Just like on a train or bus, they are expected to sit under the seat or curl up at their handlers’ feet, which a corps of service dogs did by themselves as part of their training at a live performance of the festival.

Did they sit still as they were supposed to? Did the dogs enjoy or were they annoyed by the show?

Enjoy reading the article about how service dogs behave themselves during a live musical show.
