They Came, They
Walked, They Helped
Lucknow
Lions Walk for
Dog Guides
Valerie Gillies
Editor/Lucknow Sentinel
Five dogs and their chaper-
ones took part in the Luc -
know Lions Walk For Dog
Guides on May 25, 2014. Lion
Tom Hogan remarked that in
the 20 -plus years the Luc -
know Lions have been organ-
izing this event the average
has been 6-8 dogs with their
walkers. It is disappointing
that participation is noticea-
bly down this year despite the
promotions employed. All
money raised from this event
goes to training dog guides in
the facility in Breslau through
the Lion's Foundation
Canada.
The puppies start out being
raised by host families who
must follow strict guidelines
to prepare them for their
career as dog guides. From
these homes the dogs pro-
gress through the training
school in Breslau. Their pro-
spective owners must come
to the school to work with
them for 4-6 weeks to receive
their own training and to
allow for the owner and dog
to learn to work as a team.
Hayley Campbell has been
participating in the Lucknow
walk since 2000 when she
was just an infant. This year
she is walking Jasmine. Kathy
Todd, Hayley's grandmother,
is walking Lucy and is thrilled
to have 2 daughters, 3 grand-
daughters and 2 pups partici-
pating as a part of her family.
Dusty, the beagle walked
by Tom Eskrick, was origi-
nally named Justin, but his
adoptive family felt that name
just did not fit him. Dusty was
a Pet Rescue 4 years ago. He
came from Tennessee and
was fostered out by Lucknow
Adopt -a -pet, but wormed his
way into the family's hearts
and was adopted by his foster
family.
Maddie the German shep-
herd was also rescued from a
dicey beginning. At approxi-
mately a year and a half old,
Maddie is now part of the
Hogan family.
The Lucknow Lions add
that they are always doing
fundraising of some type.
They are a "small but mighty"
group and can most certainly
use more people to help with
this. Anyone interested in
becoming a member is
welcome.
