Who doesn't love watching a service dog in action! It is cool, right! Watching these service dogs with their self-awareness and confidence is incredible.
It is crystal clear that such dogs go through vigorous training before they are ready to become service dogs. We don't usually get the chance to see what it really takes for a puppy to turn into a noble member of one of the most respected classes of dogs in the entire world; a guide for the blind.
Such dogs are under a regular amount of pressure. It is not only they have to be level-headed and healthy, but they also need to be extremely smart and clever.
Lombard was such a happy, loving, friendly and smart puppy. The special bond between him and his trainer,
Hana, was instantaneous and that helped through that exhausting training period. So many people wanted to pet the little
Lombard but his loving trainer made sure he didn't get touched by strangers.
Over the training course of a year,
Lombard was getting on with the work; constantly getting trained. While demonstrating a smart manner, he was unfortunately not suitable for the job.
He developed an anxiety which minimized his chances at being a guide dog. But it was alright and accepted to have such ending, because every dog has a purpose.
Hana at the end found she and her precious dog were not meant to stay together.
While
Lombard is sad for not accomplishing his dream,
Hana declares that the dog's story is just beginning even though he won't be able to be a guide dog.
The video below shows
Lombard's long journey!
