The Carson City Guide Dog Club's annual visit to Virginia City, NV is a
trip 150 years back in time. In its heyday, Virginia City was one of
the wealthiest towns in America. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of silver was mined and milled from the surrounding hills.
From riding the world famous Virginia & Truckee railroad to walking the
wooden boardwalk of the town, guide dog puppies and raisers shared lots
of different experiences. One favorite experience is the visit to the
Delta Saloon. Patrons hardly took their eyes off the slot machines as
the puppies walked by the infamous "suicide" table. Of course, the
wooden bear and the old fashion mechanical horse captured the attention
of several young pups. At the end of a busy morning, the guide dog
puppies were certainly ready for a nap.
