    Bagel in training

    Posted by Meg O'Sullivan on Aug 3, 2022 2:46:57 PM

    Bagel is a seven-and-a-half-month-old guide dog in training. Throughout training, guide dogs learn many tasks, including learning how to walk centrally along the pavement, whilst avoiding obstacles along the route, as well as finding crossings, doors and places that are visited regularly. Bagel was sponsored by 92-year-old holocaust survivor Harry, who cycled 900 miles during covid to raise money for Bagel to be trained, hence the Jewish name Bagel. Harry is still cycling and still visits Bagel and his trainer Karine.

But what to say after that? Ask, where are you from? Which subcamp are you a member of? What has been your favourite activity so far?
