Paser
Welland, Ontario, Canada :
Wayne Tuttle of Welland, Ontario, Canada, retired his Guide Dog Paser after working together for over a decade.
During Paser’s retirement, Mr. Tuttle noticed it was becoming increasing more
difficult for Paser to climb stairs and navigate their two storey home. After repeated
visits to the local veterinarian and learning Paser was suffering with canine arthritis
and hip dysphasia, it was time to make an agonizing decision to euthanize his
“faithful friend” and Guide Dog.
Once the initial heartbreak subsided, Mr. Tuttle was compelled to find out if there
were any products on the market, that may have helped Paser live a better quality of
life during his last few months.
After an exhaustive search on the internet, Mr. Tuttle finally located a device
called “The Bottom’s Up Leash”.
Uncovering this unique product immediately motivated Mr. Tuttle to take swift
action. “If I had a difficult time finding this unusual item, what about others faced with
a similar situation?” , said Mr. Tuttle.
The fact that Mr. Tuttle has been legally blind since the mid 70’s has never stopped
him from accomplishing his goals. “ I want to help others find information and
unusual products that will help their pets live a happier and healthier life,” said Mr.
Tuttle. So, with the help of his wife and co-owner, Tina Tuttle and with the aid
of his special computer system, Mr. Tuttle set out on a daunting task of researching,
designing and launching their first online pet supply store called
“Two Tuttle’s Four Paws.”
“Being blind doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the same goals as a sighted person,
(like designing a web-site), you just have to find ways of doing things differently “
says Mr. Tuttle. “Our store and product line is quite different from your average pet
supply store. “ Mr. Tuttle goes on to say, “most of our products are very Unique to
Canada and the Tuttle’s are also very concerned about our planet, so they now have
a new line of “Earth Friendly” products in their store.
“Two Tuttle’s Four Paws is dedicated to helping other Pet Parents find unusual and
useful pet products as well as offering advice and information surrounding caring for
their pet’s.” Mr Tuttle states.
“ Paser, will always be with us, says the Tuttle’s, but because of our heartbreak,
Paser has inspired both of us to help other Pet Parents, find those hard to find items
as well as hidden resources. If you need help with caring for your pets, visit us at
