This three-month-old golden retriever is one of seven puppies waiting for a foster home to kick off its guide dog training. Jessie Thornton, a canine development co-ordinator, helps care for the puppies on behalf of the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Volunteer foster owners help raise a puppy by teaching it basic obedience and socialization before the pup enters formal guide dog training. These future guide dogs get training that helps them get used to different surfaces and floors before they head out to their foster homes. These five labrador retrievers spend most of their time playing with each other and training for their future as guide dogs.
