Meet Guide Dog Hank

Hank was a pleasure to raise. He loved going to puppy class, no matter where it was because he knew he was always surrounded by friends- both humans and dogs. Hank loved all the attention from the public, and was always a gentlemen. Most of all, after a class or day at work, Hank loved playing fetch, going for a walk or playing in the water. To the graduate: Best of luck in all your adventures. We hope you have as much fun as we did raising him.
