Blind Man Reunited With Missing Labrador Guide Dog Thanks To Facebook!

Image
In Canada, a blind man has reunited with his missing Labrador guide dog thanks to Facebook.
Blake Hardin recently moved to Vancouver from Alabama. The visually-impaired man had not yet gotten new tags with updated contact information for his 10-year-old Labrador, Beethoven.
On Sunday October 18, the Labrador Retriever wandered off. Hardin said he walked around the neighborhood with his cane, calling out to Beethoven for hours, but couldn’t find his dog. The dog was not wearing his guide dog vest and he was worried what would happen to him.
Someone later found the lost Labrador on a street less than a mile away and took him into their home.
The next day, a neighbor recognized the Labrador in a post on The Columbian’s Facebook page.
Cherry Martin, the director of School of Piano Technology for the Blind where Hardin goes to, drove the blind man to the residence less than a mile away to take Beethoven home.

Labrador Names: Hundreds of Great Ideas to Help You Name Your Dog

Human Names For Labradors It is very popular to give pets so-called human names. All of our family dogs have human names, and always have done. I don’t just extend this rule to the canine members of the house, every other animal we live with also has a human name. Even down to the guineapigs and fish! The nice thing about using a human name for a pet is that it is formal, universally understood and can add to the feeling of their inclusion in your family.

Pigment in yellow Labradors

First off there are two distinct yellows that have different "genotypes" which means genetic combinations for color. If a yellow Lab has one or two genes that encodes for black then the dog will have black pigment and this pigment can vary in intensity which I will discuss below. If a yellow Lab has two genes that encode for chocolate then the dog will have liver (chocolate) pigment also known as a  "Dudley"  and this can vary from very light flesh colored on a light yellow to a dark brown on a red or dark yellow. These different combinations can arise from various breedings depending on what color the parents are AND what colors they carry. Two blacks bred together for example can produce both black pigmented yellows AND liver pigmented yellows. Here are examples. This first dog is a dark yellow with black pigment. Notice the black around his muzzle and eyerims. His nose has faded to pink due to age. This inevitably happens to most yellows. It is often called ...
