To Whom It May Concern,

This is a letter of recommendation for Cindy Barker [from Pawsibilities Unleashed] and her dogs to work with children, the elderly, or those with special needs. Mrs. Barker has come to my school and worked with many of my children for several years. I have always been impressed with how well her dogs behave. There have never been a problems or concerns.

Even when the children surround and generally overwhelm the dogs with affection there has never been a problem. Her dogs are so well trained that I never feel there is any kind of concern. Some of my students that her dogs have worked with have been special needs children. At times she works with the children on how to properly act around dogs and how to touch them. Even when the children have acted out the dogs are very calm and well behaved. I understand there is quite a bit of training that the dogs must go through before they are allowed in the classroom.

I have seen wonderful improvement when her dogs have worked with my students who need special care. The children love to see her and her dogs arrive. They have learned much patience and understanding of animals and others since they have been working with Mrs. Barker and her dogs. I hope Cindy will be able to work in my classroom for many years to come. I feel that she and her dogs are quite an asset.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mary Olds, Third Grade Teacher
Peaks Mill Elementary
Kentucky
