An outbreak of parvo, a dog sickness, is causing distress at a well known agency that helps the blind.
Parvo is a common virus dogs are normally vaccinated for, however at Guide Dogs For The Blind, the puppies are too young for shots.
Acting CEO morgan Watkins, said "This is a very serious disease in puppies. We've seen 30 dogs sick, five have died."
A team of veterinarians from UC Davis is in San Rafael helping to control the outbreak, and taking care of the sick dogs.
