I have been told the same thing about Belle. She's a SERVICE dog.. Really??? I just shrug it off with replying that I will let the paramedics, emergency room Dr.'s & my cardiologist know that it's really nothing when she alerts me that my heart is skipping beats Repetedly. Those are the educated people who listen to my do called stupid bully, so I don't die. Kids are kids. They just say what they hear (parents) usualy. EB's have a lit of traits. It is up to owners to train this breed of dog as well as All Other Brerd of dogs.
