Reggie
The late Jessica Walters had a black Labrador named Reggie that she got in 2004 when the pup was cut from guide dog training.
Reggie was a “release” from Guiding Eyes; he kept leading his trainers into light poles, so he was deemed temperamentally unsuited to be a service dog. He was 18 months when we got him; now he’s 7 and weighs 90 pounds.
