Maggie and her owner, Patti, are regulars at the dog park. Maggie had a 3 inch pin inserted into her left, rear elbow joint when she was 4 months old due to a genetic deformity that didn't knit properly. But that hasn't slowed down Maggie one bit:
She loves to play and fetch tennis balls. She swims like a pro. Her mom is 3/4 Golden Retriever and her Dad is 1/4 Black Labrator.
Besides her athletic ability, she is intelligent as well. Maggie, with the help of her owner, has completed her Therapy training through the Delta Society and Lend A Heart Animal Assisted Therapy, Inc. program.
Maggie will roll over and spin without hand signals.
Patti says sometimes Maggie thinks she is a cat as she lives with four felines at home.
