When I went to get my first guide dog Luther, I was fortunate to be given the chance to hold a 6 week old yellow labrador!
The little guy had just been born at the California campus, and was weeks away from being adopted for a year of tender fostering.
I remember clearly thinking that I could just simply slip him into my pocket and nobody would be the wizer!
Now, thinking back, I laugh about that because, once upon a time, nearly 10 years ago, Luther, yes my Luther would’ve been that small.
Trying to fit Luther into my pocket nowadays, would be trying to fit Shaque in a mini coop, thus you see the funny side of this analagy.
I came across a video of 2 week old Guide Dog Puppies that any animal lover will surely enjoy looking at. These guys, actually 5 girls and 1 “man” look defensless right now, but one day they maybe entrusted with the life of a blind handler, how cool is that?
