‘Calmest dog I know’: Iggy, a Toronto courthouse service dog, retires after seven years

Iggy the service dog stepped out of his vest and walked with head and tail up to his retirement party on Wednesday afternoon. 

It was a bittersweet celebration, at Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Centre in Toronto, of the big dog’s seven years lending a paw to children needing support while testifying in court.
