Sunny will join the staff as a Facility Dog at the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center in Albertson, New York. The Henry Viscardi School provides educational opportunities for children with severe physical disabilities who may also require life-sustaining medical treatment during the school day. Sunny has been trained to provide a variety of tasks to engage children as they go about their daily academic activities.
We are proud of Sunny and have been honored to witness him blossom into an amazing assistance dog. We are thankful to NBC and TODAY for the awareness they helped raise for Sunny and the mission of the Guide Dog Foundation and we look forward to an amazing difference he’ll make in the lives of hundreds of children with disabilities he’ll be supporting each school year.
