Canine Partners for Life, based out of Cochranville, Pa., is a nationally growing organization. The dogs help with mobility, get phones, open refrigerators, pick up dropped items, pay for things on behalf of their owners, and detect health or behavior changes. They must complete a two-year training period, and have to be paired with a specific person, matching the dog's skills with the person's needs.

Canine Partners for Life (CPL) wants people to see that their dogs are very hard working, but they also get to have fun and play as well.
