A few pups got their first taste of the theatre thanks to their service dog training, and oh my goodness, they were such good doggos [6]! In a photo that's now going viral, the service dogs in training can be seen with their heads peeking over the seats at the Festival Theatre in Ontario, Canada, as they watched a live performance of Billy Elliot. The theatre puts on relaxed performances [7] of the show for those guests "who will benefit from a less restricted audience environment," [8] such as those with sensory processing disorders or disabilities, which was a perfect way to ease these pups into sitting in an audience.
