Several local service dog puppy raisers and breeder caretakers are featured in a newly released book, “A Gift of Puppies.” They and their dogs will be joining author Carolyn Wing Greenlee and her guide dog Hedy with information, demonstrations, and answers to questions on preparing puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and Guide Dogs for the Blind. If you are curious about what service dogs can do, considering getting a service dog, wondering if you’d enjoy working with puppies for this worthy cause, or just love dogs, please drop by PETCO, 7715 Laguna Boulevard, Elk Grove, between 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 24th.
