Girls just want to have fun!
From the rain and high sun of Australia to the trade winds of the islands to the winter cold snow of Canada, Arika has become a world traveler just short of her first anniversary as a guide dog.
Her handler, originally from Canada, makes regular trips back and forth. This year, Arika went in March and was greeted by the winter cold and for the first time, SNOW!
Off duty, Arika ventured into the back yard of her Canada home. Instead of green grass, she saw a blanket of white stuff. Stepping into the snow and feeling the strangeness only prompted her to explore. Away she goes, sniffing around leaving paw prints behind. Excited with what she discovered, she lays into the snow and loving the softness, she dives into the snow head first! Bright eyed and full of newfound fun, she plays happily. Her human friend comes out to join her and begins throwing snow balls. Arika doesn't hesitate – high into the sky she jumps to catch her first snowball! There have been many snowballs since and will always be every time Arika makes her winter trip travel to her second home in Canada!
