Remember Hadley, the Guide Dog puppy that we’re training to act as sitters for? I introduced you to her in November here. She was 10 weeks old when she made her first appearance on this blog. She’s now about four months old and has come to our house a couple of times recently to get accustomed to a change of scene.
We’ve continued to work with her lately. She’s had her big dog shots so she can now safely train in public and she’s begun walks around Sequim, venturing in and out of stores and experiencing situations she may encounter when she’s a graduated Guide Dog for the Blind.
She’s growing fast and taking new situations in stride. Like her, we’re learning. This old dog has new tricks to learn, too. Hadley is a dear little pup to learn with.
I have seen these special dogs at work. They are amazing.
What a sweetheart! She has a lot wisdom on her face!
What a sweet face.
I think I would bond with her so much that it would be hard to say goodbye.
That’s definitely a risk. The puppy raisers tell us they manage it by getting the next pup to raise.
She’s beautiful and will eventually be a great guide dog for some special person.
