DINNER IN THE DARK

February 6, 2003
Dogs with Vision and Have Paws Will Travel hosted this combined event.

DINNER

Dot and Leonard made their way through the buffet line with a little help from Leondard's Guide "Rodeo." Then they enjoyed their Dinner in the Dark together.

A puppy waits patiently for her raiser to finish her meal	Okay, I found the drink... now where's the spaghetti?	Low vision goggles from Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. simulate limited field-of-vision with a stylish "funnel" look (left).

Both blindfolds and low vision simulating glasses
helped participants gain empathy with their
puppies' eventual partners.

GOLDFISH RELAY Participants donned blindfolds and with a little help from sighted guides, relayed spoonfuls of goldfish crackers to the other side of the room.
Getting the goldfish on the spoon	On your mark....get set.....	GO!

	Find the cup, put in the goldfish and return for more... without your puppy getting a snack!

MUSICAL CHAIRS When the music stops, find a seat and have your dog sit. If someone can entice your dog to jump up, you lose your seat and are out of the game....


	...The last team sitting, wins!

KONGS FOR ALL! The Kong Company generously donated kong toys for all participants.
The dogs got to make their own choice from a big bin of Kongs. Thank you, Kong Company!
