Pride's litter 1 sml

Hi everybody!ย  We had a bit of a celebration in our house this month.ย  June 25th was my first birthday and Iโ€™ve grown a lot in my first year!

I came from Susquehanna Service Dogs in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Dad found a picture of me on their website.ย  My name was Dexter then and I was still with my Mom, ย Boise (from Guiding Eyes for the Blind), and my seven litter mates, Dory, Delilah, Diesel, Duke, Dewey, Dudley, and Diego!ย  Iโ€™m the one on the left with the orange collar.

Now look at me!

Iโ€™m not as big as some of the other year-old pups in training but PADS Breeding Program Manager, Jackie, says Iโ€™m โ€œfun sizeโ€ and I like that ๐Ÿ™‚
