yep! He's an ambassador of peace in other places, too. He distracts my father with the alchoholic dementia so that he doesn't remember that he hates us when we come to visit. He distracts the staff and fellow residents of dad's assisted living community so that they don't remember that they hate dad.

He puts Joannie in a good mood when we go visit her at the nursing home and all of the old codgers sitting outside smoking can enjoy watching his crazy bird chasing antics.

He's not so much an ambassador of peace with birds but, that would be a bit too much to expect from a half labrador.
