our guide dog's journey

Our Guide Dog Journey

Our Guide Dog journey is a long, organized, goal oriented and task-based curriculum with no room for error or failure. Her graduation will present her into the world to really make a difference. A life changing difference for a person with a disability.  We are excited and very pleased with MC’s accomplishments and evaluations, so far.  Here’s what we learned about MC this week.

A Puppy Raiser’s Love

A puppy raiser’s love is quite remarkable considering she invests all her hopes and dreams in a very special guide dog puppy who will someday make the transition into a hero in a harness.  Such is the story of MC, our latest guide dog in training. You see, when guests rent a pet-friendly cottage from our Mermaid Cottages collection, the pet fee helps us sponsor puppies to be trained as guide dogs and service dogs for persons in need, including members of the United States Military.
