Ellie's First Guide Dog Experience 

I am a puppy raiser for Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan. My current puppy returns for training in only 16 more days. As I near turn-in, I am asked even more how I could give my puppies back. Moments like this one are why. Someone needs my puppy much more than I want him. Thanks for this video. It's always good to remind myself why I do this, too :)

Absolutely amazing and brought tears to my eyes! Thinking of becoming a puppy raiser in MA and this is SO heartwarming and wonderful to think of how wonderful these dogs are for these children and adults to have independence...and SO much love

This was a great demo, and Ellie did a super job. I'm a volunteer instructor for guide dog puppies, and enjoyed seeing this. I hope she can wait patiently for her own future guide dog. :-)

I would love to see a future video of Ellie with her guide dog when she gets good at it! I'm also a puppy raiser in the U.S. for The Seeing Eye. I just love seeing the end result.

What a fantastic little girl - I am a Puppy Walker in the UK - Good Luck little Ellie

We would love to hear from you stories like Ellie's spur us on. It is very hard parting from your puppy after a year but when you hear what good they do it makes it worth it

Aww, Ellie is a beautiful little girl and she did brilliantly. Guide dogs are amazing.

So cute. Give her all the opportunities and she will rise to the occasion. The dog is as cute as my guide.

Just watched Ellie have her first guide dog experience. Couldn't stop crying. Well done Ellie

Hi Lynne, I assume this was for the US puppy walkers rather than us. Just so you know, we live in Sawtry in Cambridgeshire if you ever wanted something more local - or feel free to use anything on Ellie's blog

We would love to hear from you. I am now on my 7th puppy and yes, every time one goes you lose a bit of your heart. I am a novice at this but could send you a copy of our newsletter so you can see the things we do and compare. Is there a private way of contacting you?

That's cute. My friend has one & since we live together, the dog plays with me a lot. She is so smart & funny.

I am a puppy walker in Cambridgeshire, England. We have a Newsletter for Cambridgeshire puppy walkers and wonder if you would write an article for us on puppy walking in America. We have had articles from, France, Holland and Australia, one from you would be the icing on the cake. Thank you

I am a puppy raiser for Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan. If you are still interested in an article I'd be happy to help you out!

Simply beautiful!
