A day in the life of Rusty Dog. His antics, service, and the love he provides every day. Rusty is a Service Dog who helps his owner get around town.

Rusty also aspires to be a Therapy Dog someday. He has big dreams! This is Rusty's life. He was born 4/7/2016 at Moki Oriental Fish Farm in Neosho, Missouri. He was the owner's Prize Choice for carrying on the AKC champion lineage, looking just like his Daddy, who was his owner's crown jewel. But sadly, this was not to be. Rusty developed a hernia, which caused him to be unable to breed, bringing his value down. So Rusty's owner looked for a new role for him to fill. Angie had been looking for male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel because of their loyalty. She was looking for a partner in ministry to work beside her in serving others. She saw his picture online and fell in love with his sweet face. She acted quickly and went to meet him. They met and became instant friends and Rusty came home to live with Angie.

What's your approach after 14 hours on duty in the ER? You stay composed, focus, and keep calm under pressure.

Angie exclaimed in frustration, ”Toby, you dislike water!” Toby quickly replied, ”It’s not bath water.”

Check out these recent photos of Toby! Trainer Tommy said Toby was off-leash in the store and doing much better in public. Just two more days, and I’ll have my boy back—can’t wait! Thanks, K9 Hideaway.

Learning and growing are so much fun for Sir Toby. What wonderful progress he is making. Just look at that distance and loose leash walking. WOW!

Thank you, Tommy & K9 Hideaway, for providing all the photos and updates.

Toby said with that look, “Not another picture! Can you leave me alone, too? You’re worse than the strangers who constantly try to talk to me and pet me."

This gets pretty dull. When waiting and there are no zoomies to enjoy, all that's left is feeling bummed and watching people.
