I already told you about the CCI graduate team of Wallis Brozman and Caspin (“One Of The Most Touching Service Dog Stories I’ve Ever Read”) – now they along with some of the great Sacramento-area puppy raisers and their dogs in training are in a fantastic two-minute news video just filmed yesterday at the Sacramento airport .
There are some of the usual news media inaccuracies in the story you need to be aware of (e.g., they aren’t “guide dogs”, they misspelled Wallis’ last name, it costs a lot more than $10K to produce a dog), but don’t let those detract from an otherwise tremendous story.
Wallis does an outstanding job of explaining what having a dog like Caspin has done for her, and Caspin shows off some of the things that CCI dogs learn in advanced training (like picking up a penny). I honestly wish I could take them with me “on tour” because she’s rapidly become a tremendous spokesperson for CCI, and if you look in the dictionary under “service dog” you’ll see Caspin’s picture, but for now the video will have to do.
