Meet Hummus!

(Yes…best name ever!)

Hummus is a sweet black lab puppy. He is currently being trained for a very important job!

Hummus is a part of Canine Companions in Williamsburg, VA.

[Canine Companions] “provides service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.”

Hummus is being trained by the amazing @raising.puppies (IG). This is the third dog in training that I have photographed with @raising.puppies. Hummus will stay in his current home for about 18 months and then will move on to the next stage of training. I am lucky enough to be able to photograph Hummus again at 18 months and see how he has grown.

Fun Fact…Hummus is the son of the last dog I photographed for @raising.puppies…Gage. We also photographed Gage as a pup and at 18 months.

Check out Gage’s puppy images at the end of this post.

The type of job Hummus will hold will be determined when he is older. Now he is just focusing on learning great puppy manners!
