Sirius takes a Town Walk
In early July 2004, Sirius and his Seeing Eye trainer, took their town walk through the streets of Morristown, NJ.  Brian, Sirius' puppy raiser, and his wife, Diane, had been notified of the dog's excursion and were on hand to see the pup that had been a part of their family for over a year as he showed off what he has been learning as he strives to become a Dog Guide for the blind.
Although Brian and Diane were not able to get near, pet or love Sirius, or even let him know they were nearby, it was a proud moment for them to see their pup in harness and know before long he will be fulfilling his life's work as a Dog Guide.  From all they have been told, Sirius will be matched up with a blind person in the next class.  The Seeing Eye trainer tells them they even have a couple of people in mind that they may be able to match Sirius with.
