An adorable photo of a group of service dogs sitting in a Canadian theater last week catching a production of "Billy Elliot" has gone viral.

The photo shows the crowd of mainly poodles and golden retrievers taking up at least four rows and attentively watching the stage during the Stratford Festival in Ontario. The objective was to prevent fur from flying during live theater so the pups can help their handlers navigate a theater atmosphere.

Best that about such an audience is that none of them have smart phones!

Great article. We have a family in the parish that train seeing eye dogs for the blind and they bring them to mass. They are so well behaved.

We have a couple of people in my parish who use service dogs. I tell my younger children that they need to be as good as the dogs are!

Agree. Should have been a symphony performing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture complete with cannons.

LOL! You couldn’t get that many human kids to sit still for a photo like that.

If one of you knows how to post a photo, that would be awesome. I have never been able to get it to work.

If it’s your own photo, you have to have it on a website somewhere, first.

I’ve been thinking about how you never hear of “service cats” and then I realized cats require “service humans.” I would know!

I know, too. Our household overlords become more high-maintenance and demanding every day.

(Whoever came up with the saying ‘give them an inch, they’ll take a mile’ must have had cats.)
