Some sad news about Guide Pup.
A vet check up today reveals an overbite that isn’t correcting itself. He’s a basically healthy puppy and will make a wonderful dog for someone…but he can’t continue guide dog training. We have to give him back to them so he can be discharged.
I’m weirdly sad for him.
Guide pup has a genetic trait that limits his lifestyle.
Sounds on point for what you've shared of your own life.
ps, thanks for your sharing btw.
Dont be. Like you said, hes gonna make a wonderful dog for someone. Basically he's gonna be living his best life just without having to do any work. Sounds like we should all be so lucky!
I know. He just gets visibly excited when you put his little working vest on him (puppies have mini training vests) and it's a bit...strange to think of him not doing what he's born for
He's a lovely even tempered little guy. He'll be fine. I know
