New York Islanders Daily: Isles Partner With Guide Dog Foundation

Hockey and puppies are up there on my list of best things in this life. Thankfully, the New York Islanders combined the two as they decided to partner up with the Guide Dog Foundation to train a future guide dog.

On a Tuesday in August, it’s usually a very slow news day in the NHL world. It instantly got better when the Islanders announced they will be teaming up with the Guide Dog Foundation to get a dog’s training started.

The process of breeding, raising, training, and placing a guide dog costs over $50,000 but this foundation provides it services as no charge to the person in need.
