Meet Bauer.
Bauer is a 7-year-old Labrador Retriever and aspiring psychotherapist.
Beginning in Bauer’s early years, Victoria knew that he would make an exceptional therapy dog someday. He frequently receives compliments on his relaxed personality and welcoming demeanor. Bauer loves being rubbed on his chest and on his ears and will give you the most compelling puppy-dog-eyes if you stop petting him prematurely. During his free time, Bauer enjoys sunbathing in his backyard or swimming at the Venice Dog Beach. Despite being a “Retriever,” Bauer refuses to retrieve anything unless it involves jumping into a body of water. This is by far his worst quality...
Bauer became a certified therapy dog in June 2021, which required training and testing by an AKC Recognized Therapy Dog Organization. Bauer regrets waiting until his senior years to achieve this title but is eager and excited to start his new occupation.
