m( Oono eekl Thest, We nésiay, Sptmbr 15- Wal-k-a-dog-a-thon Ht, my name is Aspen, and I'm a Guide Dog for the Blind. I would like to thank the businesses and residents of the Municipality of Clarington for their time and patience wbile 1 was living in Newcastle. 1 came wo the home of Tenry and Jean Graham from the Lions Foundation of Canada Canine Vision Scbool in Oakville when I was on the Poster Puppy Programme. This was in October 1993 when 1 was only 8 wecks old. Newcastle was w bcrny home until I was about 14 months old when, if 1 had worked bard enougb, I would go back w dthe school for training wo quality me to help a blind person. Well, 1 did work very bard. 1 would put on my jacket "Guide Dog in Training" and bead out witb the Grabanç The'sebool said if 1 was going w nbe the eyes of a blind person then 1 must not be afraid of anything! I went wo puppy obedi- ence school; socialized at the local arenas; helped the Newcastle Lions at several functions (at least, 1 thought 1 did tbough some of the Lions doubted that 1 would ever make it); visited libraries, stores, coffee shops, sentors apartment buildings. 1 even stayed overnight in a hotel. And had lots of fun playing with theldids on the street. I guess I must have worked really bard because in November 1994 1 went back to the school for training. Everyone was a litde sad wben I left, especially the kids who didn't really understand why I had to go back w school. I was deter- mined wo work bard with the train- ers and make ail my friends that 1 had left behind in Newcastle very proud of me. And 1 did. 'Mis sum- mer 1 met a blind lady who fell in love with me. We worked togetb- er at the sebool for about 26 days wo make sure we would be happy witb eacb other and that 1 could become ber eyes. I amn now living in Kingston and 1 amn very proud of rny success story. 1 would like to thank the fol- lowing: Lions Foundation for building and operating the scbool; Raîston Purina Food for sponsor- ing ail the dog food; Newcastle Lions Club who sponsored my vet- erinary bills; Hertz Rent A Car in Toronto wbo was my corporation sponsor; and ail my friends in Newcastle. This fail my old friends at the Newcastle Lions Club are holding a "Walk-a-dog-a-thon" in Newcastle on October 14. AIl the funds they raise wili be going to Canine Vision School. Blind peo- pIe get us dogs for free and any one wbo bas everhad a puppy can appreciate bow mucb time and expense goes inwo producing dogs like me. So I hope you'll join in and "Walk yeur bestfriend --for these who need one." To get a Pledge Sheet cail Murray Paterson 987-4628; Mike Carter 786-31 11; Terry Grahame 987-39$0. Tbank you ail again.
