Thank You, Highland Park Elementary

Dakota would like to give a shout out to Dawn Bohls and the awesome Fifth Grade Safety Patrol at Highland Park Elementary in north Austin! You rock! We had a really fun time sharing about Guide Dogs of Texas with the group, and afterward they asked some of the best and smartest questions we've heard so far about guide dogs and puppy raising. Thank you for letting us come!

It was a really great training experience for Dakota, since he has never been inside a public school before. He was very excited by all the children (he loves children!) but aside from a little extra pulling on the leash I thought he did well.

Here he is in the office waiting for me to get signed in. Doesn't he look like a bobblehead in this picture?

He really wanted to go to the nurse's office and cuddle with the kids in there, but I told him that might not be such a good plan. He just smiled at them instead.

Have a great summer, everyone!
