[BlueSkies11]

This week's episode of ViewPoints features a fascinating look at what goes
on in training a guide dog.

 

ViewPoints 1209 2-29-12 Training and Raising Guide dogs 

Hosts Peter Torpey and Nancy Goodman Torpey speak with Pam Boy, who is
raising her 6th guide dog puppy. We'll discuss what's involved in making a
guide dog, from breeding to final graduation with each dog's "forever
person". Almost from birth, guide dogs need to learn very important skills
and behaviors. We'll also meet Pam's current puppy, Casey.
