Minister of Canadian Heritage Finds Joy in the Company of a Service Dog

Naboo is a Labrador retriever/Bernese mountain dog who is about to undergo training as a service dog. While waiting, she accompanies Mélanie Joly, the minister of Canadian heritage. Joly met Naboo through a friend who fosters MIRA Foundation service dogs but cannot handle one more dog alone – Naboo.

Joly faced several challenges – not to mention, serial criticism because of the logistical mess of a Canada 150 event on Parliament Hill and the issue on Nextflix’s tax exemption. Naboo’s companionship served as a great stress reliever for Joly. He followers her to meetings and created structure in her daily routine despite the hectic life of politics. Joly says that she has to feed Naboo at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. walk him before and after meals. Though gym workouts are a stress reliever, Joly attests that having a pet around calms her more.

Joly knows that she’s going to lose Naboo soon when he turns into a service dog. But if Naboo doesn’t pass, Joly still has the option to buy him at half the price of being a service dog – that’s about $4,475.
