[journey265]

i really wish these stories were actually journals - i.e. vlogging about the process... the video is of course beautiful... but i'd love to know more :) - i'm visually impaired myself and i have several friends with guide dogs so know just how amazing they can be. glad you're doing this :)

god im sitting here crying with my guide dog Moss licking my face, Since ive had Moss hes changed my life but it must be so hard to let these dogs go. He has his own site on facebook called my guide dog moss. I would just personally like to thank you as a puppy walker for changing the lives of people like me in all that you are doing. x

We are raising our 1st guide dog Farah. She is 6 mo. old now and it's going to be so difficult to give her up, but when I see Farah in her harness- it will be so worth it. This video makes me teary! Thank you and all the other guide dog puppy raisers!

God's work. I'm not really religious but I think you know what I mean,

[Jazzgirl8888]

Heather is so beautiful and sweet ! I deeply appreciate all of your hard work and dedication . It is people like you who make this world a better place.

Oh my gosh...my heart is breaking...tears are running down my face...I know that these pups have to go on to do their job, but how HARD must it possibly be to say 'goodbye'??? Does it get easier the more you do it?

[murray7474]

I wish I could say it does get easier,but I would be telling you lies.Everytime I watch my video's about my girls it breaks my heart,but I remind myself why I do it.

To know that i have played a small part in hopefully raising a fully qualified Guide Dog,that will enable a blind or partialy sighted person to have more freedom,independance and feel more confident makes it all worth while.

One of my friends is blind and to see the bond between her and her dog,and the difference her girl makes.

[RogueStorm1984]

I work for Guide Dogs Breeding Centre and I think all puppy walkers are amazing, keep it up you wonderful people!

[murray7474]

Thank You all for your lovely comments.

I will update soon about Jody my 2nd pup,not forgetting Nina my 3rd pup she is a curly coat retriever x lab and is now 6mths.

[rachaelannedonnelly]

[lins2905]

That's so amazing to read. I work for Guide Dogs and also volunteer for them and it's awesome to read that these dogs really do change people's lives. You never have a bad day there as you know you are doing really good work.

[HorseshoesGirl11]

I am a boarder for guide dogs in the uk. It is so sad when they go! :'(

[MeLLYMarshall1987]

Im a puppy raiser for seeing eye dogs n we are just about to give back our first puppy.........n i was wondering wat the name of the song on this clip is ?

[gebpupraiser521]

I am also a puppy raiser. You picked a great song for your video. It says it all. Good luck to Heather, and to you.

[doglass3]

You do a wonderful job. I could never do it as i am very emotionally attached to dogs, and too selfish to say goodbye

[MillionDollarPetPix]

Heather is adorable and is definitely a star! Bravo to all who tain guide dogs. :-)

[DevaDave27]

My wife is a guide dog owner and user, the difference it has made to her self esteem and motivation is amazing, she now can go out in the evening and night time. These dogs are amazing, but the people who look after them in their first steps are the real amazing people.

Thanks

[murray7474]

Just a quick update,HEATHER is now a Fully Qualified Guide Dog,passed on the 13/03/08 at 22mths old,so way to go ~~~~Heather~~~~ and hope she will be a loyal and loving Guide to her new Owner xxxxx

[snacku05]

By far the best photo slide show I've seen on youtube yet- Great song choice! BRAVO!

[Stonymypony]

I raise guide dog puppies. they are so cute, but yes it is hard to say good bye

[megsey1995]

my gran has a guide dog called hadley everytime his harness is put on he gets those puppy dog eyes

[kkoda23]

I loved this video!!! It looks like she passed because she is in full harness. . .

Its great you made a video tribute to her!!!

I hope you can get her when she retires!!

Im raising a guide dog pup too... Its also my first time.. im 16 an love it... his name is Dave. A golen cross like heather?... great video!

[murray7474]

Thank You,Heather is still in Advanced training,but all going well should pass soon,fingers crossed.Guide Dogs in the UK,train wearing a Brown harness and get a lovely new White one when they pass.

I would love to get her back when she retires,i miss her so much,she is a star.

Good luck to you and Dave,keep up the good work!. I will keep you posted on her progress..
