Meet Rudolf
Golden Retriever (Canis Lupus)
I saw Lindsay and Margaret training Rudolf on the Woodville Oval this morning, he is a Guide Dog in training. Margaret and Lindsay are a lovely older couple who decided, when the last retriever they owned passed away, that they wouldn't get another dog at their age. But living without a dog for the first time in 58 years of marriage wasn't easy. Now they are volunteers for Guide Dogs Victoria. Rudolf is the third pup they have trained, each stays for for about 14 months before going on to become a Guide Dog for someone with impaired vision.
