In July 2023, I shared Chief’s puppy profile as I prepared to meet him at The Seeing Eye. His puppy-raising family described a confident, playful dog who loved people, toys, car rides, and a good snuggle.

A busy, well-loved start
Chief was raised by an adult couple in a row home on the edge of a city with moderate traffic. He shared the home with a male retriever and a cat named Sprinkles, and got along well with the other puppies in his club.
His puppy raisers brought him to restaurants, malls, parks, doctors’ offices, grocery stores, ball games, the library, large shops, museums, and pet stores. He also joined club outings and loved car rides.
The small details that stayed with us
They remembered Chief as happy, outgoing, confident, playful, and loyal. He loved balls, bones, and squeaky toys—though the squeakers did not stay inside for long. When he needed to go outside, he sat by the door. They had many favorite memories, especially the times he curled up beside their retriever.
