Sarah enjoys combining two of her greatest passions - supporting young people and exploring the world of human-animal relationships. She firmly believes in the potent and life-changing bond that can be created between animals and humans. It's this belief that led her to join Canine Comprehension, where she can bring this magic to students and young individuals, making a meaningful impact in their lives.

Reef

Meet Reef, the heart and soul of Sarah's therapy team. This Australian Kelpie, born in 2017, possesses an undeniable charm that captivates everyone he meets. Originally trained as an Emotional Support Dog, Reef's innate ability to comfort his human siblings through their anxieties at home and beyond was simply remarkable. Recognising his natural talent for caring for humans, it was evident that Reef had a unique calling.

In January 2020, Reef completed his therapy dog training, becoming an official therapy dog and a cherished companion in Sarah's mission to support young people. With a large repertoire of tricks up his furry sleeve and a snuggly nature, Reef quickly earns the appreciation of all students he encounters. Whether it's learning new tricks, jumping through hoops, or spending time on the playground, Reef radiates joy and enthusiasm, creating unforgettable moments for those around him.

Beyond his incredible work, Reef enjoys the comforts of home, where he shares his love with two other dogs, a cat, and his human siblings. From lazing on the couch to playful romps at the local park, Reef embraces every moment with boundless energy and a loving spirit.

Reef's adventurous side shines when he's not working, as he relishes in the joys of travel, camping trips, and engaging in ball sports. His zest for life and heartwarming interactions make him a true gem among therapy dogs, leaving a positive and lasting impact on all the young hearts he touches.
