The Lions Club Leader Dogs Program

My guest for this program is Sandy Griffin a volunteer and State Leader Dog chairperson for the Leader Dogs for the Blind program. Sandy “socializes” leader dog candidates for a full year before they go to Leader Dog school. She does this by keeping them with her constantly, including into hotels, restaurants airports and conveyances in the course of her travels—which are extensive, as she and her husband are very involved in Lions International leadership. Sandy has had a young puppy in training at her side virtually every day for about twelve years now! She is very enthusiastic. Quite literally, Leader Dogs for the Blind would not exist today if not for Lions Clubs International.
