The Harveys have gone to the dogs!

We raised eight puppies for The Seeing Eye. Our adventures with raising puppies for The Seeing Eye began in 2009.

Ralph's nephew is blind and has had three guide dogs. When we watched the County Fair demonstration of a club that raises puppies for The Seeing Eye, we began to wonder if that was something we could do. We asked a lot of questions and were invited to attend club meetings and discover for ourselves what is involved. After several meetings, we applied for a puppy. Our first dog was Venita, followed by Pumpkin, Thunder, Betsy, Nina, Pippi, Sabrina and Hannah. Follow the links below for details of each dog.
