"What a wonderful feeling I get every time I watch both of you dancing together, loving each other. Rookie looks so happy. Watching the two of you just brings joyful tears to my eyes."

"Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful display of the human-animal bond thru the clip of you and Rookie. Every time I watch it, I get tears in my eyes because I completely understand the bond that does exist between humans and their beloved animals."

"In 1992, I was critically injured in a motorcycle accident. At that time, I was exposed to rehab, therapy, pet therapy, etc. Prior to the accident, I too used to love to dance. Due to the leg injury I sustained, I can't really dance any more. Perhaps this is why I find your routine SO moving!"

"I saw you and Rookie on Good Morning America. I found myself crying, but they were tears of pure joy! I grew up with a golden retriever and have very fond memories. The two of you warmed my heart. It's definitely pure gold."

"Carolyn and Rookie certainly made the most of the time and space that they had [on The Jane Pauley Show]. They produced a BIG effect that was way out of proportion to the cramped quarters. I even saw a couple of people in the audience wiping their eyes. That was nice; it made me feel less the idiot for sitting here sobbing over a tiny TV segment. The Westminster dogs were nice to look at and listen to, but Carolyn and Rookie were the highlight of the hour. I do wish it could have lasted a lot longer and gone into much more detail and demonstration. I guess I'm greedy when it comes to watching this team." — Judy and Jacob
