i i Walk-a-Dog-a-Thon This is our special story. I'm the golden retriever - Miya and this is my black lab friend Laser. We arc both from the Lions Foundation School of Guide Dogs. My friend Laser is going to be a Canine Vision Dog (Assist a Blind Person) and I am going to be a Special Skills Dog (Assist a Handicapped Person). I live with Terry and Jean Graham in Newcastle. The Grahams have had three foster puppies puppies before me. I came to Newcastle in one of those major snow storms in January. They must have wanted me very badly to go all the way to Oakville in that weather. But here I am. Dan and Jay Vossen came to visit us one day. They saw how much fun the Grahams were having with me, so they called the school and made arrangements arrangements for their own foster puppy. Laser lives in Ncwtonvillc but comes to visit us often. On one of these visits Laser and I thought we would gel dressed up in our special jackets and head to the big city of Newcastle. We thought that since we were such special puppies, we should gel our picture taken. SOMETHING SPECIAL - bet you think we are just a pics. But guess again!! We something special. - On your first impression, I pair of funny looking pup- hope we arc going to be Who in the world would be dedicated enough to spend the time waiting for us to sit still long enough - Mr. Bennett from Newcastle Photography - what a patient guy! Laser got tired of me fooling around and when I finally sat down lie was ready. Aren't we cute? After our big photo session two more foster puppies moved here but we didn't think we could all sit still at the same time for another picture. picture.
