Eevi – Guide dog puppy’s first years (Morcheeba music vid.)

The same video can be seen in higher quality in here: www.youtube.com (Choose ‘watch in higher quality’ from below the movie frame) Opas Eevi is a yellow labrador retriever puppy destined to become a guidedog (‘Opas’ in her name means ‘Guide’ and is the kennel name of the Finnish Guidedog School). She’s born on July 19th 2005 and came to live with me in September 14th, the happiest day of my life. Then at the age of 8 weeks and one day she already weighted 6.2 kg, but as the video shows, she grew fast. I had the worlds biggest pleasure to puppywalk Eevi for almost two years. She got rejected on her first entrance examinations to the Finnish guide-dog school due to immaturity and fear of stairs, but got in half years later. She fared very well in the school and graduated in November 2007. She now is a fully licensed guide dog! Eevi is working in Helsinki, Finland. Her speciality is the ability to guide two blind persons simultaneously. Her user is very pleased with her and it goes without saying that I am the proudest ‘mummy’ there is! Hope you enjoy this video of Eevi’s first two years! It was great going through all the old clips I have of her.
