CONTACT CENTRAL ONTARIO PARKINSON SOCIETY 1 800 565 3000 Ask Sandie Jones if she can put you in touch with Ian and his dog PAX. He was specifically trained to work with Parkinsons and was the first dog trained in Canada. -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Donna Whittington Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 10:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Parkinson Dog Does anyone have a Parkinson Dog. I am trying to get my mother to try to obtain one. They are trained to help people with Parkinson, i.e. if the person falls the dog can help them get up (kind of like a seeing eye dog for PWP). The web site of the dogs is http://www.independencedogs.org/ They say they like you to be under 65 but not to let age keep you from applying. The cost is approximately $200.00. Anyone know anything?
