The Puppy Games

What are the Puppy Games?

Quick background - Sellers Subaru is a proud partner of Leader Dogs for the Blind, an organization that empowers people who are blind, visually impaired or Deaf-Blind with skills for a lifetime, opening doors that may seem to have closed with the loss of sight. Leader Dog's programs give clients the confidence and skills they need to live independent lives.

Leader Dogs is truly a fantastic organization, and we wanted to share some of our work together in a fun way. Collectively we came up with a few ideas, but the one that kept coming back was to create a series of videos with a sporting-event theme. From there, we decided to have Leader Dog puppies represent Subaru teams in a variety of activities a puppy would come across. From there things took off and we created "The Puppy Games".

We hope you enjoy!
