Jeff Hawkins, and his leader dog Gracie, were speakers for MSE Detroit in 2019.

The Leader Dog with whom you’ve seen Jeff for nearly a decade, Gracie, is enjoying a carefree retired life in Jeff’s home on the lake, and has passed the harness on to 17-month-old Loki. 

Jeff and his new Leader Dog are doing great together, and he is anxious to get back to lunch & learns and other presentations for people and businesses in the community (in-person or virtually).
