Meet the Team
Dogs Eye View and The Therapy Dog Team have a wonderful team to introduce to you!
Vanessa Caldwell
Josh and Vanessa are the Husband and Wife team of Dogs Eye View and The Therapy Dog Team. While Josh no longer works with Dogs Eye View, he is now running his own Dog Training business in Mount Isa, Vanessa is an integral part of our Therapy Dog Team.
Vanessa has two Border Collies. You may see Bronny, Vanessa’s black and white Border Collie on Therapy Dog visits around Mount Isa.
Currently Vanessa visits Kindergartens and the Mount Isa Hospital with Bronny. You may also see Bronny out and about in Mount Isa with her Therapy Dog jacket on. You can’t miss her, she wars a bright red jacket!
Kara Thompson
Kara is part of The Therapy Dog Team and visits some of the Primary Schools in Mount Isa working with their beautiful students. Kara has three dogs in her family and she is passionate about the wonderful outcomes that can come from our relationships with dogs. When Kara is not working with The Therapy Dog Team, she is an educator at one of the schools in Mount Isa. Kara has first hand experience seeing the positive impacts Therapy Dogs have on students within a classroom. There are so many ways a Therapy Dog can work in schools, we could talk about it for hours!
Kara is accompanied by Jeff, when attending schools. You might also see Kara attending volunteer visits to organisations bringing joy and smiles to whoever Jeff and Kara meet!
