Hyde

Graduation day, August 14, 1999.  After five months of formal harness training, I was partnered with Timothy, a college student, bass guitar player, and volunteer teacher for blind children from Albuquerque, New Mexico.  We are two high spirited individuals and worked well together right from the start.  To quote Tim, "He is a joy to work with and I'm sure we will have many good years together."

During the ceremony, Jim and Amanda (my bud) presented me to Tim.  I feel very blessed and proud to be Tim's guide dog and I know he will take wonderful care of me.  I am looking forward to my new life in New Mexico and many years of service with Tim. Hydegrd3.jpg (88239 bytes)
