Puppy Sirius' First Day of School
September 12, 2002
On September 12, 2002, Sirius attended his first Puppy Class with
the Eyes of Hope, the Essex County Chapter of the 4-H Seeing
Eye Puppy Project. He really did well, thanks to the training
he has been receiving from Brian.

A couple of good looking
German Shepherds

All lined up and
ready for my lessons!

The pups are divided into two groups. Walking on leash in
two circles, and going in opposite directions, they are learning to
listen to and follow their master without being distracted by
other pups and people.

|
Puppy Sirius and a classmate get to walk around the outer circle
showing the group how well they walk on leash and mind their masters.
|
Sirius gets lots of praise
for a job well done.

PAPD K-9 Officer Dave Lim and his K-9, Sprig,
visit the Eyes of Hope Puppy Class
|
October 3, 2002 was a special evening for the puppy raisers and
their dogs. Port Authority Police Officer David Lim and his
bomb-sniffing K-9, Sprig, visited their Puppy Class and put on a
wonderful demonstration. The Club presented Officer Lim
with a statue of "Buddy" (the first Seeing Eye Dog), from
The Seeing Eye, along with acknowlegements that a Seeing Eye Pup
has been named for Lim's K-9 partner, Sirius, who was killed in
the collapse of the World Trade Center Tower Two on
9/11/01. Officer Lim, himself, was caught in the rubble of
the towers for more than 5 hours before being rescued. He
thanked all the puppy raisers for their kind thoughts and the
great work they do raising dogs for the blind.
