On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, host Harriet is joined by two guests.

We’re joined first my Seeing Eye Dogs instructor Mikaela Smith who’s going to talk to us about her life, background and role at a Seeing Eye Dogs instructor.

Then We’re going to joined by Seeing Eye Dogs puppy development trainer Lina Xi who is going to talk to us about Lunar New Year and the special puppy name chosen in celebration of this year of the dragon.

We are looking for puppy carers now so if you're keen to raise a puppy to hopefully become a Seeing Eye Dog we'd like to hear from you! It's an incredibly rewarding experience, with training provided. Carers need time, patience and love to give to a puppy, so if you want to commit to a year of puppy raising, we would love your help.
