![This week's Transformation Tuesday feature is Anderson, a sweet yellow lab from our Winter Olympic Litter, named in honor of @TeamUSA Gold Medalists at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. Anderson's namesake is @JamieAnderson, whose slopestyle win made her the first female snowboarder to win more than one Olympic gold.
🏅🦮🏅
For Jordan, Anderson's volunteer puppy raiser in the @gebrichmond region, it was clear right from the start that Anderson was a 'good-as-gold' pup with a huge heart and an even bigger smile. "Anderson was my best buddy for over a year. We did everything together; shopping, restaurants, vacations, and many work trips. You can’t help but fall in love with Anderson when you meet him. Anderson was always so willing to accommodate my every request, even when that meant posing for a million pictures or dressing up like Anderson Cooper (including glasses and a wig). His calm demeanor and willingness to please make him an exceptional companion and guide."
🏅🦮🏅
In September, Anderson trained with his partner Margaret, a retired Psychiatric Therapist. Anderson is Margaret's 6th Guiding Eyes guide dog, and each guide dog has made a big difference in Margaret's life. "[They've made an impact] in every way! It has allowed me to go to work, take buses, go out with friends and have a more active life. My guide dogs have provided security and companionship. They even helped with therapy groups when I was working, by becoming a part of the therapy. Patients fell in love with my dogs and they adapted themselves to the love. They were all very good dogs.”
