Guide dog’s calm confidence leads Victoria woman on a path of independence

In 2017, Carly Griggs of Victoria began her path to greater independence with the help of her first guide dog, Jupiter, provided by a Canadian training organization specializing in assistance dogs.
Carly chose Lions Foundation because it is Canada's only program training standard poodles, essential due to her allergies and sensitive massage therapy clients.
She has had three guide dogs—Jupiter, Clifford, and Kobe—where Jupiter and Clifford retired early after dog attacks, an unfortunate but common working dog risk.
Carly said, "All of a sudden, I felt free," and credits Kobe's steady presence, despite two attacks, with giving her confidence and daily steadiness.
She looks forward to the May 25 Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides at Esquimalt Gorge Park, a fundraiser celebrating guide dogs and supporting Lions Foundation's seven dog guide programs.
