What type of service dog?

He is an Australian Cattle Dog aka Blue Heeler. He saved me from a heroin overdose a year and a half ago, he barked and clawed at my chest which ended up alerting my wife so she could administer Narcan & call 911. When I came too, one of the EMTs asked why I didn't make him into a service dog, so I looked it up online & he has been one ever since... He will be 2 on October 2nd, 2021. He is my pride & joy as well as I am his. He loves my wife just as much we tend to get jealous at times, lol. I have been clean ever since the overdose, thank God...

Why do you love online baseball? Part is the camaraderie of the community. Part is taking a crappy team and turning them around. It allows me to do more than sit on my couch in the evening after my day is done
