Keep up the good work Derek! 💛

One of the biggest milestones for a guide dog puppy is moving in with their Puppy Raiser! This is where the adventure really begins. 🐾

From learning new experiences and building confidence, to discovering the world around them, Puppy Raisers play a vital role in helping guide dog puppies take their first steps towards becoming life-changing guide dogs.
