The 20th anniversary edition of the National Association of Sports Commissions (NASC) Sports Event Symposium, to be held April 1619, 2012 in Hartford, Connecticut, will give attendees a hands-on experience with the Canine Cuddling Program.

Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and New England’s only Guide Dog School, trains specially-bred German Shepherd dogs to lead people with blindness to a life of increased independence and mobility. Canine cuddling is a valuable socialization tool and key in training young dogs to explore the world and get acquainted with new surroundings and people.
