The Cheshire family of Great Falls has been volunteer puppy raisers for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) for more than eight years. These dogs, when they finish training are given to people with disabilities for free. Ben Cheshire has submitted some photos of animals the family raised (eight so far).
