RESTA's assistant is Ruben.

Ruben is a Miniature Dachshund and he comes with us everywhere.

He loves people more than he likes other dogs, so Ruben likes to make a bit of noise when strange dogs are around as he gets scared.

Ruben's loves to roll around on carpet and he loves to curl up in his bed under his blanket and sleep.  The best time for Ruben is cuddles and pat time.

When we are at Educational Facilities with the Reptile workshop, Ruben stays outside with one of us until the end and then he usually comes in for cuddles.  With our other programs, Ruben is in the room during the  workshop in his bed at the front of the room as these programs require both of us to be in the room.  

With Training, Entertainment and Events, Ruben is in his bed under a table with us.

Ruben is always in a harness and on a lead.
