PCS Welcomes Mason, another Guide-Dog-in-
Training!First PCS helped to
raise Jules, who is now living the life of a
working Guide Dog in sunny California (and,
yes, she went to Disneyland!). Then
there was Elvira whose happy destiny was to be adopted as a pet with a
loving and energetic family on Long Island,
with two young children, one with
special needs. Win-win for all!
And now PCS Administrator Marcy Gray - with the help,
support, love and encouragement of the PCS community - will
"finish" raising 1-year-old Mason for the next
6 months or so.A big part of a Guide
Dog's training is learning how to behave
well in all different situations,
