Meet Keiko and Kingston
Breed: Mini bernedoodle and labradoodle
Barking from: Forsyth County, Winston Salem
What's up dog?
Keiko and Kingston are my service dogs. They help me by picking up items I drop, adding body weight to me when I feel panicked. And they are even learning how to let me know when my blood sugar spikes or drops. They always keep me safe in public when we go out together! They are super sweet. Kingston loves kids and is really good with them so he always makes them smile especially when he's allowed to meet them. Keiko is a people pleaser, she loves anyone instantly if they give her a treat. They both are super silly so they definitely bring smiles to peoples faces when they are in their element of silliness!
