His names Twister, he's a Labernese (a mixture of Labrador and Mountain Bernese), he's two and fully trained. :D

He's a promotional dog for Mira, which is a foundation for guide dogs to help people with disabilities.

Twister is so adorable,

(Sorry for the bad pics, I'll get some better ones tomorrow. The dog is out cold right now due to his long day, the poor thing.)

Cute dog btw.

No no, he's a promo dog. He was a little to agitated to qualify for the training.

I know someone who got a lab just that way too. These guide dogs are so obedient.
Did you have your name on a list too? I know the person that had one had to way a few years.

We've only had him for a couple hours and he's already adapted to us, and obeys commands without hesitation. He pays no attention to other animals, or people.

We have a connection ;) so we didn't need to wait (theirs a 3 year waiting list). My uncle works for Mira, he gives demos of the dogs.
