Guide Dog Josie

Guiding Eyes for the Blind takes great pride in our graduating guide dog teams! We celebrate the journey from puppy to guide dog, and the people involved along the way, yet respect the choice of handlers who may not wish to appear. We hope you will enjoy learning more about the following Guiding Eyes guide dog.

From the Puppy Raiser…

Josie was “an old soul in a young body”, she would just roll with what ever situation she was presented from cannon fire (college football games), air horns and crowds at hockey games, (her happy place -she LOVED working in crowds at RocketMortgage field house!), to reenactments at Gettysburg. She loved the city (spent a week in Niagara Falls Canada), but enjoyed “country life” with the horses, and kayaking. ~ Paul S. Chase
