Hi Sharon,

How is everyone? I am so excited to tell you all about Tank and I. We have completed everything and have been volunteering for a couple of months and have even started working in the school. You just can't believe how much everyone loves and adores Tank. Tank completed his obedience classes under a year of age. He passed his CGC with flying colors. We also took a therapy course and our currently registered with Delta Society as a complex therapy team, which is the highest classification in Delta. We belong to an organization called partners with paws and are currently one of under 20 bull breeds with Delta, amongst over 9,000 members. Tank and I also volunteer at Euclid hospital in rehab and Tank is their favorite dog. The hospital is our animal assisted activity and Tank is such a ham. At school we do enhancement therapy with the special needs children and we work with teenagers and preschool children. This program varies in work from motor skill development, talking, walking, etc. Tank is already a seasoned vet. I get so many compliments on how well behaved he is for being so young. Tank and I worked the working dog weekend and did a meet the breed seminar; it was great to educate the people on the Amstaff. We also did demos on our therapy program with the public. I have been designing a program to educate people through structured classes and am working my way into canine consultation; I never imagined so many doors would be available with this experience. I was even voted for secretary of Partners with paws at our annual board meeting. Ingrid, my mentor said I had more votes than any seat not counting her vote because she knew I am not ready to commit just yet w/ the responsibility. Tank met his half sister Bindi this weekend and they had a blast, along with a couple other friends ( Shai, Lisas other Amstaff and Joey, my brothers rescued pitbull), Tank looks like a moose next to all of them.

I hope you get a chance to update our info on your site so everyone can see what a great job you guys are doing with this breed. I feel so blessed to have found you and have Tank in my life, along with my family. You have truly done an amazing job. Thank you for giving my family, the people that look forward to being with Tank and I such an amazing dog. After everything I had been through this have far exceeded my expectations. Please tell everyone we said hello and Tank sends big sloppy kisses and bully hugs.
