In order to get the dogs to be Seeing Eye dogs, they need to have just the right combination of being obedient, but also independent and friendly, and they have to be good companions,” Caddeau explained. “It’s a tricky balance, because there are students who are afraid of dogs and then, there are students who love dogs,” Garlock noted. “[Dogs] just make me so unbelievably happy,” says Madeline McDonald ’26, a member of Forbes College and fellow dog-lover, smiling. But getting to hang out with dogs — with Lionela or the Seeing Eye dogs that often come to campus during midterms or finals — boosts her mood.
