A blind Vernon man had his customized harness he uses for his seeing eye dog returned after losing it on Thursday.
Vivian Unser, a friend of Roland Crouteauѻýs, said the misplaced item has been found and returned and Crouteau and his dog Dodger are happy and grateful to have it back.
The black leather harness was lost when Crouteau was climbing into a truck following a lunch with friends at Rosalindaѻýs. The blind man didnѻýt realize the harness slipped out of the truck before he closed the door.
After retracing his steps and finding nothing, his friend Unser turned to the Vernon & Area Community Forum on Facebook to see if anyone has seen it.
Unser said it was heartwarming to see the response from the public.
ѻýPeople have been so kind in offering to help fund the new harness which touches my heart and my friendѻýs,ѻý she said.
Crouteau got the harness last spring in Oakville, Ont., while he was being paired with Dodger. There, the new match underwent three weeks of training.
