All aboard the puppy truck! Guide Dogs for the Blind makes a stop in Tucson to pick up dogs in training and drop off new puppies for their human “puppy raisers”. Bitter-sweet but for a good cause. The local club Paws for the Cause hosts the event that includes training for guide dog puppy raisers. Puppies spend twelve to fifteen months with the puppy raisers and learn to socialize and handle many situations, including campus life at the University of Arizona. Then it’s back to Guide Dogs for the Blind for the guide dog training.
