Guide dogs are trained from the day they are born. The Guide Dogs foundation trains these dogs, mainly golden retrievers, labrador retrievers, a mix of both of those, and poodles. These dogs are trained to aid the blind veterans and military personnels. They are trained to replace a cane, give them comfort, keep calm around other people, and more.

At the end of all this, they are placed with the dog that has a similar personality to them.

This made it so that when we were able to work together we had a lot of work to do in a little time. I found that everyones work and final product was a lot alike even though the work processes were so
