duke - dog of the month

Becoming a Guide Dog takes a very special combination of health, skill and behavioral soundness. The standards at Guide Dogs for the Blind are extremely high, and not all dogs are cut out for it. Dogs that don't quite qualify as Guide Dogs are called "career change" dogs. Duke is a career change dog who was adopted by one of the loving volunteers at Guide Dogs for the Blind. He has a sweet and spunky personality that will steal your heart. Duke was not accepted as a Guide Dog due to allergies and elbow dysplasia. Luckily his parents take very special care of him.
