Wilfred is our first ever guide dog puppy and will be staying with us for a year whilst he learns basic obedience and good manners. His great loves in life are chewing shoes, eating plants and working on several tunnels he's digging in the back lawn. He has stolen our hearts already, and we just know that one day this special little guy will make a great guide dog.
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a relief it is......anybody remember that commercial? He's the poster-dog for it. Very cute and adorable.
Awwwwww Wilfred poppet - what a gorgeous baby u are. I'm sure u will make an excellent guide dog one day. Meanwhile all the biscuits in the world for u and the biggest ever hugs and cuddles from me sweetheart. You have stolen my heart!!

Wilfred, You remind me of my Sandie when she was younger right now she's 9 years old but still cute and very loyal and loving. I know you will be a pretty guide dog because you care about very one not just yourself. XOXO forever!
This has to be the most beautiful puppy in the world, but I'm partial to retrievers. He is just gorgeous, and you're doing a wonderful thing, having him for a year to teach him manners. Best of luck to you both.
Stopping to smell the "roses" while learning to be a guide dog! Thank you for giving him a good home AND enhancing another's life. What a wonderful face. Who couldn't love it??! :)
What a cute cute face! Love the eyebrows. Enjoy your year with him, it would be hard for me to give him up!! But what a wonderful thing you are doing to help him make someone's life better..........
What a wonderful puppy on such a noble mission!I'm sure you year together will fly by! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.
Wow, it was nearly impossible to choose a favorite photo. He is heart meltingly cute. Thank you for giving him a loving home as he prepares to perform an invaluable service. I am sure he will light up the life of whomever he serves, much like he so obviously does yours.
SHUT UP!!!! HE IS TOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE PEOPLE WHO TRAIN THESE DOGS. AND THE DOGS THEMSELVES, WHO HELP BLIND PEOPLE. THANK FATHER GOD FOR ALL OF THEM. TRILLIONS OF BISCUITS!! :)
Wow this is one adorable little guy!! Just look at those eyes! They are so full of wisdom & love. He is ready to do a very noble job. Also love the pics of him and his blankie and the one with his tongue sticking out. Just way too cute!! Bless you for training him.
OH MY GOD, What an honer to have such a little man who is going to grow up to help the blind, I honestly couldn't do that, I would fall in love with all those little puppies and never want to give them up, it would just break my heart. All the pictures are just too good to choose just one, I had to pick this one because he has his little tongue sticking out LOL Zillions of cookies to you Wilfred. and GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Baby pie! What an absolute luv! Whoever gets Wilfred as a guide dog is very lucky indeed. Enjoy your year with this sweetie . . . he's going to be a great service dog someday, once he outgrows some of his funny puppy antics!
Bless you & this special beast! I'm sure he will pass 'school' with flying colors! LOOK at that face! He just KNOWS! However the win-win situation is....IF for some reason he doesn't graduate at top of his class, don't you get first DIBS to keep him? Ear rubbies & treats galore! And smooches too!
He is absolutely perfect! God Bless You for taking him for a year...You will be making someone very happy..He is absolutely beautiful!

What a darling puppy! I hope you enjoy Wilfred while he is with you. I wouldn't be able to give him up! Lots of love and a long happy and healthy life to you Wilfred! I LOVE LABS!
This has got to be the cutest lab puppy ever! How fortunate you are to have him for awhile. And what a blessing he will be to someone as a guide dog.
Isn't it amazing that we pick names that match the dog. he looks like a Wilfred. He will be a wonderful guide dog as he looks so calm and easy going. I can see how he has stolen your hearts!! What a handsome fellow.
Every single picture of your precious boy, Wilfred, simply melted my heart. He's so lucky to have a wonderful home for his training! How will you ever give him up?
oh my goodness, my heart cannot take the cuteness of this darling. I am just cracking up at my desk right now. Labs are so expressive with their eye brows and it makes them so irresistible. I have a 2 year old lab and it is hard to believe he was that little once. For me there is NO breed cuter than labs and retrievers. They just scream cute and this little sweety is the perfect reason why. I am soooo in love!!!!!! God bless you little guy
WOW!!!! What a beautiful lab face. O how hard it would B to give him up But he will B a wonderful guide to someone and all your hard work will pay off.....enjoy your yr.....with him
"Can I get a belly wub, please?" Aw... what an adorable pup! Wilfred is amazingly cute! I just want to go up to my computer and snuggle with him! 11 biscuits! Take all you want!
I admire you for knowing that you will give up this beauty after one year! It breaks my heart just thinking aabout it!
Wilfred you are just the cutest baby. All the pictures are just wonderful!!!! who could'nt love that face. Many happy years together. Many biscuits and belly rubs
So many good pix, but in this one, it looks like he's saying: "I'm ready to do my duty as a guide dog & go to work!"
I truly think this is the cutest yellow lab I've ever seen!! I'm so happy for you to be a part of his training and I hope he makes his new owners one day jsut as happy!
Yellow labs - my favorite! Wilfred is painfully adorable - I love him! Hide your shoes and you should make it through puppyhood OK. Enjoy him, love him, and belly rubs every day for him!
I finally picked a photo - they are all beyond adorable. Puppies do not get any cuter than this. Many cuddles and belly rubs Wilfred - you are a precious doll.
Mom- I wasn't done with my nap yet. He is so amazing. You will do such a great job leading someone some day. This breed is amazing.
Look at that gorgeous, earnest little face! He is going to be someone's lifeline to a bigger world through his service.Bless you for training him to lead and protect.He's clearly a special little guy.
First off, this guy drew my attention because Wilfred is my father's name...not that my father was ever anywhere near this cute. I do hope he doesn't turn out to be as stubborn as my father.
What a quizzical look Wilfred has here! I'm also sure that he will be a great guide dog! He's very handsome too.
What a beautiful boy you are, Wilfred! Blessings to you and your owners for the wonderful work you do!!! Labs are the best!!!
What a cutie pie! His eyes look so caring and understanding. Bless you for the great work you are doing on preparing him to be a guide dog. Enjoy and tons of hugs!
Wilfred is just too beautiful and the sweetest little face in the world, how unselfish of you, I could never give him up.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! I think you have the cutest labby puppy I have ever seen!! That face is SO sweet! Enjoy your time with him - kudos to you for raising a service dog!
He is adorable. Love the eyebrows! They make him look so serious, almost like he is aware that he will have a very important job. Bless you and sweet little Wilbur.
"That's what I think about the WHOLE THING!!!" He is absolutely adorable! Belly rubs galore. All the biscuits he can ever eat.
