While the, 10 kilometre walk was hosted
by the Goderich Lions Club under the
direction of Ed Hagle, it was a zone effort
involving clubs from Mitchell, Seaforth,
Dublin Clinton, Londesboro, Blyth. and
Auburn.
"It went really well, just excellent,"
Hagle. said. "Thanks have to go to all the
fellow Lions from the clubs that assisted us
and the town of Goderich and Suncoast
Mall."
Most of the animals, with the exception
of maybe two, and their masters had little
difficulty completing the 10 km. 'trek
through the streets of ' Goderich.
Participants like Kathy -Jo Wagler of
Goderich found it necessary at times to
shield her small dog, Duffy, from the cool
winds while Murray Johnston had his
hands full trying to restrain his exuberant
pet, Charlie, a Newfoundland breed. Lisa
Vanden Broeck completed the with on her
pet horse, Dudley.
There were no fights reported between
the animals and two Seaforth area
veterinarians, Dr. Bill Thompson and Dr.
Brian Nuhn, were on hand to treat 'the
animals. The St. John Ambulance brigade
was in evidence to handle human
emergencies.
In 1983, the Lions Foundation of Canada
undertook the project of developing the
school and the first walk-a-dog-a-thon was
held in Oakville last year.
This year, Hagle reports that more than
40 Lions Clubs across the country were
involved in raising funds for Canine Vision
Canada ( C.V.C.) a non-profit organization.
The Lions Foundation has purchased a
building in Oakville which will open its
doors to visually impaired Canadians on
November 9.
The school is designed to train 120 dogs
per year and during that stage,
participants will be provided with
transportation to the school, room and
board and team training with their dog.
The Foundation estimates it will cost
$5,600 per student.
Dog guides will be subject to an intense
training program before being paired with
a student. The three breeds accepted for
the program include; German Shepherds,
Labrador Retrievers and Golden
Retrievers. The majority of the pups are
A total of 57 walkers took their pooches and pets on a 10 kilometre trek through the streets of
Goderich Sunday in the first annual Walk a-Dog-a-Thon sponsored by the Lions Club. The
walkers and their pets raised $5.500 for the Canine Vision Centre in Oakville where dogs will
be trained to work with the visually impaired. The walk got under way from Suncoast Mall.

purchased from professional breeders.
The pups are placed in homes for a one-
year socializing period and are then
brought to the school for the three-month
training program. Graduates are matched
with students and, as a team, they work
and live together for four weeks learning
to trust each other through such
experiences as crossing busy streets,
boarding buses and riding elevators.
C.V.C. has 60 pups 'in foster homes
throughout Ontario and hope to have 20
graduates by the end of the year.
All participants are reminded that
pledges should be turned in at the nearest
branch of the Bank of Montreal as soon as
possible. The money will forwarded to
Oakville.
