Seeing Eye Puppies in Training Take First Train Ride on PATCO

A group of seeing eye puppies in training took their first ever train ride as they traveled on PATCO on Saturday, October 30.

The nine puppies, accompanied by several seeing eye puppy raisers, boarded a westbound train at the PATCO Woodcrest Station and rode the train to the 15/16th & Locust Street Station in downtown Philadelphia. The puppies eventually boarded an eastbound PATCO train back to New Jersey.

Every aspect of the trip is intended to help further the puppies’ education and socialization. The puppies had the opportunity to be exposed to travel situations and various sights and sounds. When fully trained, the puppies will be able to help the blind lead more independent lives.

The puppies are part of the Caring Canines of Burlington County, New Jersey.
