Ily, a four-month-old Labrador/golden retriever cross puppy, makes his way down an escalator under the watchful eye of trainer Anita Middel of Rocky Mountain House in Sears at the Bower Place Shopping Centre Wednesday.

She and another puppy trainer for the Dogs With Wings Assistance Dog Society worked with city dog training consultant Donna Dee to accustom the dog to being in a shopping mall.

The Edmonton-based non-profit society that supplies service dogs to the wheelchair-bound, visually impaired and autistic is looking for corporate and individual donors to support the more than $20,000 needed to train a dog over two years.
