Photo of the Day: Ethan the Service Dog

One-year-old golden retriever Ethan showed off his skills to the students at Parkway Heights Middle School for career day.

Therapeutic dog-in-training, Ethan, made an appearance at career day on Wednesday morning with trainer Sandra Carson. 

Ethan is a one-year-old golden retriever who is training to help people with physical disabilities. When his training is finished, he'll be able to respond to 90 commands and help people turn on lights, pick things up from the floor and open doors and refrigerators. 

When he completes his training, Ethan will be matched with a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder.
