‘Today’ Welcomes a New Member To the Team… An Adorable Puppy!

A new “puppy with a purpose” was introduced Monday morning on Today. The as of yet unnamed puppy joined the show with help from America’s VetDogs, a nonprofit organization that trains service dogs specifically for veterans. The black lab puppy will be on set of Today spreading joy and cuteness, but it will also be learning the skills that will help it to be a successful service dog. After 14 weeks of training, the puppy will undergo testing at which point it’s training will begin to focus on one of many areas based on it’s skills.
