Greyt Hearts Service Dogs Training Retired Greyhounds to assist for PTSD, Mobility, Seizure Alert, Diabeties Alert and more! Greyt Hearts Service Dogs Inc. Tester/Observer. Ms.

The purpose of this group is to train and place trained Service Dogs with individuals needing Physical and/or Psychiatric assistance. This program is geared to but not limited to Military personnel with PTSD. The dogs provided will primarily be retired racing Greyhounds. These dogs are perfectly suited for a life of Service due to the extensive training they have received since birth, their vast e

xposure at Greyhound racing facilities and the fact that they have a unusually long working life span as opposed to other breeds. Greyhounds are not prone to hip dysplasia, have a very low maintenance coat and do not have a “doggie” odor. Other Sight Hound breeds will be used as they are available, including but not limited to Borzois, Lurchers and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. This makes them quite user friendly and easy for a new dog handler/owner to adapt to. Greyhounds have a calm, quiet nature and bond deeply and quickly to an owner. Sight hounds such as Greyhounds have an active, healthy work life up into their teens. Kennels in FL and various groups throughout the US have a constant supply of healthy, strong, loving dogs, looking for Forever Homes. What better home could there be than a person who needs the assistance and love that these dogs will provide. The fact that the Greyhounds come off the Track and have extensive social and leash training shortens the training time needed to finish them as a Trained Service Dog. This reduces the cost of training and upkeep per animal to less than half the cost of a traditionally produced Service Dog. Patricia A Goettler, brings over 30 years’ experience in Animal Behavior and Training to GHSD Inc.. She is an AKC CGC Evaluator as well as a Therapy Dogs Inc.

She also trained a number of Service Dog / Handler Teams. Since then she has continued training dogs and individuals; certifying Dog/Handler Teams as Hearing Dogs, Physical Assistance Dogs and Psychiatric Assistance Dogs.

Entitled Celebrity Demanded the Stewardess Move Me from My Rightful First-Class Seat – I Taught Her a Lesson in Respect

I had always heard stories about rude celebrities, but I never believed them—until I encountered one myself. A local TV star tried to bully me out of my first-class airplane seat, but I had a clever plan to make him pay. My unexpected ally? A pregnant woman.
After months of grinding work, I decided to splurge on a first-class ticket for my European getaway. At 33, I felt I’d earned the chance to relax in style. I imagined a peaceful flight with a glass of champagne in hand. But the moment I got to my seat, things took a turn for the worse.
There he was, sprawled out like the entire cabin was his kingdom. I recognized him instantly—Mr. Thames, a reality TV star notorious for his bad behavior. Sunglasses on indoors, he radiated entitlement as he reclined in his seat, ignoring me entirely.
I tried not to let his reputation influence my judgment. I smiled politely, ready to settle into my seat next to him. Before I could even fasten my seatbelt, he snapped his fingers, summoning the flight attendant like a king demanding a servant.
"Excuse me," he said, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I need more space. I can't have someone sitting next to me. Find her another seat."
I froze, astonished by his gall. The flight attendant, visibly flustered, offered me an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Mr. Thames," she said, "but the flight is fully booked."
That didn’t stop him. He turned to me, his lips curling into a condescending grin. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" he sneered. "YOU need to move. I need this seat to myself."
I took a deep breath, refusing to rise to his arrogance. "Yes, I know who you are," I said calmly. "But I paid for this seat, and I'm not going anywhere."
His eyes narrowed, clearly not used to being told no. The tension in the air was palpable, and I could sense the other passengers silently watching, curious about how this would end. Mr. Thames looked like he was about to lose it, but that’s when inspiration struck me.
"You know what?" I said thoughtfully, pretending to reconsider. "Maybe I will move. No point staying where I'm not wanted."
Relief washed over his face as he assumed he’d won, stretching out even more in his seat. As I made my way down the aisle, I heard him dismiss the flight attendant with a smug, "You didn’t really help much, did you? I’ll be sure to mention that."
But I wasn’t defeated—I had a plan. As I walked through the plane, I spotted her: a heavily pregnant woman, struggling with a fidgety toddler on her lap. She looked exhausted, clearly dreading the long flight ahead in economy.
"Hi," I said, crouching down next to her. "Would you like to switch seats with me? I’ve got a first-class seat."
Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you serious? Oh my gosh, thank you!"
Without hesitation, she gathered her things, and we made our way back to first class. As we approached, Mr. Thames’ face shifted from confusion to horror. I gestured to the seat next to him, and the woman gratefully sat down with her toddler.
"Enjoy your flight," I said with a smile, knowing full well what was about to happen.
The toddler immediately began squirming, reaching for the celebrity’s belongings with curious hands. Mr. Thames looked like he might explode. His once-victorious smirk was gone, replaced by sheer frustration. I gave him a small, satisfied wave as I headed to economy.
As I settled into the pregnant woman’s original seat, I couldn’t help but chuckle. I didn’t mind the less luxurious surroundings. The satisfaction of imagining Mr. Thames spending the next several hours next to a restless toddler was reward enough.
As the plane took off, I put on my eye mask and leaned back, feeling more relaxed than I had in days. The pregnant woman needed that first-class seat more than I did, and Mr. Thames got exactly what he deserved. Sometimes, a little poetic justice is all you need to remind someone that life doesn’t always bend to their will.
And as for Mr. Thames? Maybe by the end of the flight, he’d learn that not everything in life comes served on a silver platter. One can only hope.
