In the middle of the summer of 2016, our wonderful guide dog Elfa gave birth to three puppies: Zuze, Vera and Hugo! All three are now conscientious guide dogs: Vera and Zuze work in Latvia, are our society’s dogs, and Hugo has moved to Finland.

In the fall of 2018, Vera had completed guide-dog training and she was partnered with blind Solveiga from Liepaja. Solveiga’s guide-dog Ulla had reached retirement age and started to enjoy her retirement in her beloved Solveiga’s family. So Solveiga decided to meet with Vera, and fortunately Vera immediately took a liking to Solveiga. In Russian Vera’s name means faith, and Solveiga really depends very much on her guide-dog.

She describes Vera as energetic, happy, and very active – exactly like her master. Both have spent their first year together with enthusiasm, sometimes dreamily following nature’s wonders – like butterflies, blossoms. Vera fulfills her duties very accurately and precisely, as though still trying to show her master her endless love and care.
