Vigo's Partner

As many of you know, I loved our guide dog puppy Vigo immensely!  I am so happy that he was placed with a very loving family.  His new partner is in her 70's and Vigo is her third guide dog.  I think Monique with take excellent care of him and they will be super happy together.  Every time I give a puppy that I've raised back to Guide Dogs, my heart breaks a bit.  But then when you see and feel the love between the dog and his new partner it makes my heart swell and then I know it is worth it.

Monique gave me permission to post the pictures she sent me.  Thanks Monique for sharing a bit of Vigo's new life with us.  We wish you both all the happiness the world has to offer.

A very proud looking Vigo..  What a beautiful dog he is! Settled in his new home.

I couldn't get this to turn.. sorry.   This too is in Oregon...  He really has grown up if he is willing to go out and guide in the rain.  I am so proud of you Vigo!
