GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A lot goes into training puppies to become service dogs. Two Grand Rapids organizations teamed up Wednesday to help.
Life EMS and Paws With A Cause held an event at the ambulance service’s headquarters in Grand Rapids to expose about a dozen puppies to the sights and sounds of ambulances.
“It’s all about getting them comfortable in an ambulance. If their client had an emergency, they want to be prepared and confident and able to deal with that situation where they can be transported with their client,” Sidney Baxter, the communications manager for Paws With A Cause, said.
