I owned a Lagotto. Wonderful dog and very understanding. I looked after severely handicapped children and my Lagotto acted as a nurse. If a child dropped a toy, the lagotto would pick it up. If a child had a seizure the dog would come and get you. If a child was ill he would sit for hours with the child. Yes a wonderful companion….unfortunately the lagotto was poisoned and died within 6 weeks unable to be saved….looking for another. Irene
I am very sorry about your Lagotto. A real shame, all the more so because working as a pet therapist gave relief to many kids.
