New photos for flickr.com

While sorting through all the photographs that we have taken of the puppies raised by Perfect Partners to look for images to use for publicity purposes we came across a selection of photographs of the other puppies that we thought people might like to see. We have uploaded them to our flickr.com account so everyone can see them.

Dogley is a Labrador cross Golden retriever and was selected and trained for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Auckland. He was trained by a puppy raiser family and then placed in the family home with ongoing training. He was placed in late 2007, and is now two years old. While he is no longer with Perfect Partners, we have put up some of his puppy raising pictures to show his part in the history of the Trust.

Theo is a Golden retriever who came from Arangold in Christchurch, and is another example of the lovely dogs that come from Margaret. Theo was paired with a women with seizures and had already begun alerting prior to her seizures, providing a 5-10 minute warning of seizures. Sadly for all of us Theo died due to complications from a medical procedure not long after his first birthday. There are lots of photographs of Theo during his training, and at play - particularly with his canine friends.

We hope that you enjoy the photographs of where we are at, and where we have been.
