Human's name: Dawn Boddington, a volunteer puppy raiser for BC Guide Dog Services
Pet: Golden retriever puppy Sunny (Sundance), a BC Guide Dog in training
Favourite treat: Sunny isn't allowed treats
Favourite activity: "Jacket off" time with the kids
Pet tale: Sunny arrived at the Boddington household when she was seven weeks old and will stay with the family until she is between 14 and 18 months old. When she leaves the family, she will have professional training for four months, after which she will graduate to become a guide dog for the visually impaired, or a support dog for children with autism.
"We will be very sad to see Sunny go at the end of our time with her, but know that she is going to change someone's life beyond measure, and love them unconditionally," Boddington said.
