Purina Walk for Dog Guides!

The Purina Walk for Dog Guides takes place this Sunday Oct 19th in Cumberland! This event will raise much-needed funds for 'Canine Vision', 'Hearing Ear Dogs of Canada', 'Special Skills', and 'Seizure Response Dogs'. I spent some time chatting with Orleans' resident David Miles, who suffers from epileptic seizures. His seizure response dog, Jersey (gorgeous black lab) has turned David's life around and allowed him to live without fear. It cost approximately $25,000 to train Jersey and other special dogs like him, and the need is great. Please consider participating in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides this Sunday.
