This is Pria, our pet dog. She was originally a guide dog puppy, but was dropped from the program because she has very minor hip dysplasia. Good thing she loves to swim, because it’s great for her hips! She loves to swim so much she will (and has) jumped in the pool in January when it’s 40 degrees. In the summer she spends hours a day in the pool swimming laps.
My family has raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind since 1994. Maylita was a puppy my mom took for a few months when the original raiser could no longer care for her. Maylita was 5 months old when these pictures were taken, Koru and Maylita were the same length from nose to tail! Maylita went to live with another raiser right before Xmas. She was such a sweetheart, I hope she becomes a guide!
