More: Caroline is just the sweetest dog. We have 5 kids and she loves and protects us all. Our youngest child has Down syndrome (she is 8 years old) and Caroline makes for an amazing therapy dog (even if she hasn’t been through any official therapy dog training). It’s just in her nature. Caroline is pictured with my son Fowler (13 years old) and he is the one that takes Caroline on most her walks. They have a great friendship and understanding.
