Ferry, shopping, lunch: Bay Area guide dogs get some real-world training

Date:

Working guide dogs for the blind and puppies-in-training took in the sights, sounds and smells of the East Bay ferries and the San Francisco Ferry Building on Saturday during a social excursion meant to help them get accustomed to transit and real-world situations.

The pups and people outing began Saturday morning at the Alameda Main Street Ferry Terminal with the first group of Guide Dogs for the Blind’s Foggy Doggie Alumni Chapter and the organization’s Berkeley Puppy Raisers. The group was then joined by more dogs and their handlers at the Oakland Ferry Terminal.

After a quick ferry ride across the Bay, the group toured the Ferry Building, did a little shopping and had lunch at Gott’s Roadside.
