"THE VILLAGES EXPOSURE"

 Friday the 15th of February, our obedience class was held in The Villages, at the Spanish Springs town square.  Many area residents enjoyed watching the dogs train, afterwards asking questions about the Guide Dog program.

 Photographers from The Villages Daily Sun newspaper were there taking pictures, and video while the class did its obedience training.
