Meet Lonny Kopan and his wonderful certified Service companion named " Jayce ".
Together they bring joy and laughter to those in various facilities and sick children in hospitals.
Jayce was born at Balsam Ridge and we love nothing more than to learn the owner has spent time in training, as this breed is capable of so much due to their amazing temperaments, athleticism and high intelligence.

Mr. Jayce - Certified St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog
Hi Jan,
I hope all is going well back in Ontario. Just an update with Mr. Jayce. He is doing amazing. I am still enjoying everyday with him.
One thing that I am extremely proud of him for, is that he just recently passed his practical evaluation to become a certified St. John's ambulance therapy dog. This included about 13 different tests involving commands, interaction with other dogs, people in wheel chairs, using crutches, walkers, canes, loud noises, walking properly on leash, and a few other things. I am so very proud of him.
He is now going to be visiting patients in the cancer clinic at one of our hospitals 1-2 times per week for about an hour.
Thank you for an amazing dog.
Sincerely,
Lonny and Jayce.
