This week's Transformation Tuesday pup is describe

This week's Transformation Tuesday pup is described as "good as gold" by her handler - an especially appropriate description for Mikaela, a yellow lab named in honor of gold-medal skier Mikaela Shiffrin after the 2018 Winter Olympics. Swipe ⬅️ to see Mikaela as a working guide dog!

Mikaela is handler Agnes' 2nd guide dog from Guiding Eyes. The team completed their home training in August. It was "love at first sight" when they met, with the pair quickly bonding as a team. Agnes especially enjoys Mikaela's calm and gentle demeanor which Lisa, Mikaela's volunteer puppy raiser, notes has carried over since puppyhood: "She would visit Washington, DC with her puppy friends, ride the metro train and visit the zoo, where she once met a giraffe who bent over to investigate her. She calmly looked up at this big creature as if to say 'well, hello'. "
