February 2025 Pupdate for Champion

Sherman (Champion) is perfecting his task skills prior to placement. His retrieval has diversified to cover a variety of objects and textures. He can now pick up and bring hard items, cloth, squishy, etc. He can help with the laundry. He does a perfect head rest for pressure and a nudge to the leg for an alert when standing. He is using a nose push to shut doors and drawers and to turn on a light. He uses a tugging motion to be able to help his veteran get up from a seated position. He will also nudge his veteran to wake him during nightmares.
