It is not often that I personally introduce a pet in PetHall. It is not often that PetHall dedicates a section to an individual pet. We at PetHall have been proud to be associated with Chanda-Leah (AKA World's smartest dogŪ) and Sharon Robinson her guardian. Without much ado, I will open with a poem my father always had in our children's room when I was growing up. I later found out a couple of days ago that it was an adaptation from a poem  Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

Below is a extract from the poem

A child that lives with criticism, learns to condemn.
A child that lives with hostility,  learns to fight.
A child that lives with fear,  learns to be apprehensive.
A child that lives with pity, learns to feel sorry for themselves.
A child that lives with ridicule,  learns to feel shy.
A child that lives with jealousy,  learns to feel envy.
A child that lives with shame,  learns to feel guilty.
A child that lives with encouragement,  learns confidence.
A child that lives with tolerance,  learns patience.
A child that lives with praise,  learns appreciation.
A child that lives with acceptance,  learns to love.
A child that lives with approval,  learns to like themselves
To all these I add,

A dog that lives with attention
learns many tricks.
 

Meet Chanda-Leah, an eight pound ball of fluff who has learned to respond to over one thousand hand and verbal commands.

Born Jan 1st 1994

Chanda is an eight year-old Toy Poodle that has won her way into the hearts of countless thousands of people around the world.

Guinness Publishing was so impressed with this amazing little dog they created a new category just for her- "Most Tricks Performed By a Dog"

Chanda entertains in schools churches, nursing homes and hospitals, bringing her own special brand of joy to all who meet her. Staying focused and responding to so many commands is truly incredible.

Her uncanny ability to make people laugh is a unique ministry that is nothing short of phenomenal.

Her name is a derivative of "Chandelier" just as a chandelier lights up a room, Chanda lights up the lives of people she touches.

Chanda has been invited to appear on numerous television shows in Canada, the United States and around the world.

In her short life, she has caught the attention of the local, National and International Press.

PetHall's first article on Chanda was in May of 2000 when she featured in Pet Superstars
