The December 10th Fund
Cracker's page, our sponsored guide dog in training
Cracker, our Black Dog, in training to be a guide dog with funds donated by MIM fans of Led Zeppelin. Check back for updates, posted as they are received.
In the information on Cracker, we received a calendar with interesting puppy facts (which we'll post for you each month), and an album to hold pictures of Cracker.
Thank you for sponsoring a guide dog puppy. With your help Cracker, could become a fully trained guide dog and make a real difference to the life of someone with sight loss.
What's really exciting is that you can follow your puppy's journey - from his first tentative steps along the pavement, to the proud moment when he meets his guide dog owner. Your support could help with essentials such as food, training and vet's bills.
Jan 2012 pupdate
To get you started, we've enclosed your first photo of Cracker and a special album for you to keep it in. We'll send you more photos throughout your sponsorship, showing Cracker as he grows up.
You'll also receive regular 'Pupdates', with the latest news about Cracker and his progress, adventures and training; as well as lots of interesting facts about guide dogs.
We expect Cracker to be helping someone with sight loss in around 24 months, but that doesn't have to be the end of your journey. When he graduates we will introduce you to another young puppy just starting out on its training.
There's so much to learn and Cracker has got a lot of work ahead of him. Some of the tasks Cracker has ahead of him are learning important commands, finding his feet in new situations and working out how best to guide his owner through busy streets. This takes a lot of patience, time and money, so I'd like to thank you again for your very kind sponsorship. We really couldn't do it without you.
