raised by Sandy Arnn.

Dolby
All the guide dog puppies in Carson City have a wonderful pal at the
school district administration office. In fact, he
occupies the office of the assistant superintendent of
curriculum. His place happens to be under the desk, but
he is considered an extra-ordinary employee. If it be
true that some relationships are made in heaven, then the
union of Dolby and Dorothy was made above the clouds.
Career changed Dolby might not have liked heavy city
traffic, yet as a therapy dog to people who need his
special comfort and joy, he is at the head of his class.

Gary
Career changed
guide dog puppy Gary would have made an outstanding guide
if only he lived in a totally human world. Unfortunately,
Gary was highly distracted by other dogs and other
animals (horses, sheep, cats, camels) for that matter.
Today, Gary lives with a very loving couple in Oakland,
CA. He enjoys the ocean, walks around Lake Merrit and
just being the center of attention.
In his spare
time, Gary has attended vet technical classes with his
mother. This is the soft, sensitive side of Gary. He
participates in the class as a demo-dog. Here he is
standing patiently as students practice bandaging. By the
end of this session, all four of his legs were wrapped -
with different colored bandages. |

Sharla
To
her friends she is affectionately known as Miss Sharla.
She is a true lady: Dignified, graceful, loving and
assertive. In the arms of her raiser Nicole Scudder,
Sharla is very happy to be back home. Too bad for Guide
Dogs. While in training, Sharla developed severe skin
allergies. Despite the best medicine, the condition got
worse. Yet within weeks back home, her rashes were
completely gone. Maybe it has to do with Carson City's
4,500 ft elevation and very low humidity. Or, maybe it
just has to do with Sharla being home were she belongs.
