Congratulations to our college puppy raisers who graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy today! 🦮

Balancing your course load, regiment responsibilities, extracurricular activities, and raising a guide dog for an individual who is blind or has low vision is no easy feat. We are thankful for your dedication and wish you luck on this exciting journey ahead. 

Wishing you fair winds and following seas!

The video features a collection of photos taken during the United States Merchant Marine Academy commencement ceremony. The images change quickly, showing graduates alongside assistance dogs in training from the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs.

A graduate in a white military dress uniform walks across a blue track with a yellow Labrador Retriever wearing a bright yellow training vest. Another photo shows a yellow Labrador standing beside seated graduates near a golf cart, looking toward the camera with its tongue out.

A graduate crouches beside a yellow Labrador resting on the field. In another image, a graduate holds a diploma and leash while a black Labrador stands calmly beside them as a large crowd watches from the stadium seats.

Additional photos show smiling graduates posing with their diplomas and yellow Labrador Retrievers in training vests. One graduate sits in a chair while a black Labrador lies quietly at their feet. Other images show graduates standing proudly with their dogs during the ceremony.

One graduate in a dark military dress uniform poses with a black Labrador in front of military service flags. Another photo shows a yellow Labrador lying calmly on the turf field.

The video concludes with a group photo of five graduates standing together with five assistance dogs in training seated in front of them.
