We have joined a group of local Guide Dog puppy raisers called “Puppy Pilots,” a group of adults who take on the early training stages of pups for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Raisers teach pups the good behavior needed for a career as a guide, acclimating them to a broad array of situations and environments. Hadley is the newest pup to come to Puppy Pilots. She is 10 weeks old, very smart, and sweet as can be.
We are “sitters” for Puppy Pilots. Pups will stay with us from time to time. But it’s more than a bed and biscuit gig. Like Hadley, we’re learning the ropes to grow a good canine citizen and are training, too. I plan to follow little Hadley as she learns the ropes and progresses to a possible career as a guide dog.
Oh my gosh Hadley is beyond adorable Kay.. and smart too I bet , what a great program 💛
These guide dogs are smarter than some people I know.
Good luck with your new adventure.
What an adorable pup. That sounds like such good and rewarding work. I was at an event last night for a local animal shelter and I held a cute little pup that looked so much like this one.
What a cutie!
It would be hard to let them go after having them for even a little while! So cute!
She’s adorable and she’ll be a great learner.
What a little sweetheart!
Great program. Glad you and DH are getting to participate. If Hadley doesn’t take care of your need for a “puppy fix”, there’s no hope for you. What a doll!
