He definitely has the sense of, well, I kind of wanna do my own thing too, like,

we'll give him a command to sit and he can get distracted in the sense that he might want to go check out something else.

Paco is our second dog.

We felt a little bit more confident, um, but I forgot how much work it took to take care of a little baby puppy.

You know, the lack of any kind of control about anything.

- Paco sit! Paco sit! - Paco sit!

As you could tell, Paco is a teenager and doesn't listen to its parents.

We have right now four teenagers in our home, and so I think we're kind of used to it having all this kind of wilful but really beautiful spirits.

Paco come, come! Come, Paco! How are ya?

I grew up with a blind grandmother in my home.

Knowing that Paco could help someone who can't see like my grandmother is pretty, pretty, pretty cool.

We as a family, we've benefited so much from raising a guide dog.

It's helped us to be emotionally healthier.

Our boys, they're on a spectrum.

They go through higher levels of stress interacting with people.

You know it's stressful to talk to a person and just to say hello to them.

But what a puppy does or what a dog does, is they're not demanding of you.

They just want a hand.

They just wanna rub.
