George and Shirley visited
the classroom on the afternoon of the 22nd.
George was blinded by an accident.
He brought his seeing eye dog, Tarka.
Tarka was trained by a school
funded by the Lion's Club. It is located in Oakville, Ontario.
Tarka is George's second dog.
He is a black lab.
The children learned that
when a seeing eye dog is leashed that it should not be touched or spoken
to. That is because it is working and should have no distractions.
