We had an amazing opportunity to meet two guide dog puppies this morning. It was Arno and Zeira's first trip outside of their home. They were so tired on arrival, that Zeira slept for most of the visit. It was really interesting to learn about a 'Guide Dog Trainer Coordinator's' job and the skills required. Kim, our visitor shared about her journey of working at the SPCA and then training and working as a vet nurse, before pursuing this amazing and rewarding career. The puppies have nearly 2 years of training and the red jackets prepare them for wearing a harness one day, when guiding their blind owners. This is definitely a career path for people who love and enjoy working with animals.
