Taz in the granddog of Martha Tinder in Spartanburg.  He is a chow -basset mix, approximately 7 years old.  Martha's  son rescued him from the Spartanburg Animal Shelter several years ago.   From the very first moment ,he has been a very calm, laid-back sweet dog.   The last week of April 2009 he received his little red heart, so  Taz  and  Martha  are just beginning  their  journey into the dog therapy world.
