Just an dog in the video doing my baby girl Halo. That is her in profile pic. She is the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me.!!!!

Everybody loves Rick, he is a super cool human being.

My son has one of their dogs and they are truly a wonderful Canadian charity.

He brings awareness to different things in Canada. Hopefully it will increase donations.

I'm a first yr intervenor student at George Brown, we went to the Dog Guide school in December and got to the little obstacle course with Biscuit! Wonderful dog! Wonderful Exposure for the school!

Take Care!

I love how when she was listing the different things the dogs go on to do and Rick was just going "uh huh" while being distracted by the puppy x)

They are such beautiful creatures. My dad might get a guide dog sometime in the future, he's only 42, but within a year he might become completely blind.

We just got our puppy - his name is Fritz and he's the one in the orange collar. The one thing I picked up on during this broadcast is the fact that we (as Foster parents) dedicate a large portion of our time and money to get these puppies ready for advanced training, but we've been discriminated in various locations and prevented from entering some establishments. I ask all that truly care about this program, if you see this, stand up for us and help us educate these businesses! :)

There are now 7 programs. Since this was filmed they have added Diabetic Alert and Support (facility dogs).

This was a great experience for Mercer and educative to the public. I wish they'd included something to the effect of the general public to NOT patting or distracting the dogs. They get plenty of love and attention from the handler ;)

The tailwag of Biscuit while they're holding the giant sausage links so cute 🥺 I hope she got a couple bites

Lions Foundation Dog Guides is a great place and deserves support and recognition. So kudos to Rick and CBC for showing their story.

[tasharules]

my heart just melted from extreme cuteness.

I've had a few experiences with their dogs. They do great work.

One of his best episode, because of dogs.

Awesome!!! Thanks for helping out. I've had many friends with vision impairments get there guide dogs from Oakville. They form a bond that's unbelievably strong. His first dog is retired and a "family dog" now but his second is working hard for him! FYI, you are entitled to bring him anywhere, have your card out and take the opportunity to educate! IF, for some reason, Fitz doesn't make the 'cut' you would be able to adopt him. Forester parents get first dibs! But Fitz will be top dog, I'm sure!

[demonkitti]

The ending was hilarious. "Usually conscience is my guide, but Biscuit's so much better." That last high-five nearly smacked her in the face, though! Heh. I'm glad it didn't.
I think I'll be sending them a small donation sometime soon. :)

Hi Max, I agree with you - unfortunately we aren't afforded the same "all access pass" as fully registered dogs (under the law), with that being said, we are on our 4th dog now and haven't had any issues with him at this point. :) Thank you to all that have supported Dog Guides throughout the years!
