College man ready to shine

Tiny guy...
 
 
...stately gent!  Today is your day, Fifo.
 



 
 
"Are the treats up here?"

 
Nope, but they're just inside!
 
 
A quick reunion with his sister before heading in.

 
Two of our newest vehicles.
 

 
Convening at the Assessment Center.
 



 
We love the personal attention given to the dogs' kennel signs. 


 
This wasn't mom's idea, but we didn't hear her complain.   ;-)

 
 
Shirts and certificates await.

 
Titus welcomes and thanks the raisers.

 
A quiet moment, waiting for Fifo to be called.



 
 
After all the dogs were safely escorted to their runs, the raiser families continued with the agenda for the day.  Off to the kennels on the magic bus.

 
As the different groups set off for various parts of the campus, one group was stopped by this heartwarming sight -- a current student working a route with his new dog. 
 
This is why we do it.

 
Fifo, you have brought so much joy to your family and your puppy group.  We will watch your progress with great anticipation.
 
We know you will make a difference in the world.
 
Forward Together.
