I’m a little late on this one, but earlier today I saw that Grace, a Puppy In Training for the Guide Dog Foundation was going to ring the NASDAQ closing bell today.  Unfortunately, I was to slow to post my article or even witness the NASDAQ closing today.

I did find some links to the site including these picture and a short write up:  http://www.nasdaq.com/reference/200901/market_close_010509.stm

Here’s some information about Guide Dog Foundation For The Blind, Inc.

About The Guide Dog Foundation:

Since 1946, The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. has provided guide dogs free of charge to blind people who seek enhanced mobility and independence.

Our students come to us from all over the United States and many foreign countries for the quality of our dogs and our innovative training techniques. Every future guide or service dog gets its start in a puppy walker home. Puppy walkers raise Guide Dog Foundation puppies for about a year, teaching basic obedience and social skills, before the dogs return for formal training to become assistance dogs for people who are blind, visually impaired, or have other disabilities.

We are supported entirely by donations from generous individuals,corporations and foundations. We receive no government funding.

Thanks Johann!  We received this information through your RSS feed this morning.  If you want to learn more about Johann and his adventures as an agility dog please visit his site: The Days of Johann, an agility dog.
