Dogs With Jobs

MacKenzie: GUIDE DOG (Oakville, Ont.) Cheryl has recently become legally blind. MacKenzie is the seeing eye dog who wins her heart and trust during an intensive training period. By the time they graduate together from the Canine Vision Canada program, they’ve formed an unbreakable bond. BEAR: LIFE GUARD DOG (The Cotswolds, England) Newfoundlands are large, gentle dogs and born swimmers who love kids. So, it should be second nature for Bear to help train teen lifeguards at this water park. But he takes his time getting into the swim of things! TESS & BLUE: ELK HERDERS (Banff, Alberta) Every fall, Banff fills with elk. It’s a spectacular sight, but they’ve injured a number of people. Tess and Blue are border collies who herd the elk back into the wilds.
