taking these issues into account, it still shows negligence on the
side of the mother. If it was windy and she couldn't hear, maybe
she could take her own safety and get herself killed, but to put
the baby in danger, was wrong. If she has a hearing loss again
traveling with the baby is not very safe, there's so many things
that seem very funny to the story. I don't know why were trying to
take it as something it's not it's not a feel-good story it's a
sad tragedy that make the blind look in capable

Could be any of these. It could also be that it was very windy,
or she has a

I'm also confused about how a car almost hit the baby stroller
when the mom
<br>
was "getting ready" to cross the street. If she was waiting for
traffic to
<br>
clear, wouldn't she be waiting at the curb? Did a car try to
jump the curb?
<br>
Or was she waiting a little too far into the street? Or did she
step out to
<br>
cross right before a car came through? Why didn't she hear the
car? I've
<br>
never been almost hit by a car while waiting to cross and
something doesn't
<br>
quite sound safe about this situation. I hope the mom is able to
learn from
<br>
whatever travel mistake might have allowed this to happen.

Hi,
<br>
<br>
How would you know whether it's safe or not? Maybe she was
taught and
<br>
the dog was taught to push a stroller? Just because I don't
think
<br>
it's safe doesn't mean it's wrong, and I have no right to
question or
<br>
judge and neither do you. As far as I know you've never even
had a
<br>
guide dog, so how
<br>
<br>
would you know good practices or the capabilities of a guide
dog team?
<br>
Ultimately the baby was saved by the guidedog and whatever the
mother
<br>
did or
<br>
<br>
didn't do had no part in it. The car could have easily been
coming
<br>
from the
<br>
<br>
other direction and the same think might have happened. So
your
<br>
point, while taken, was pointless.

maybe, but that's just like her driving a car. The practice
might be
<br>
done it's still not safe. She should probably be investigated
for
<br>
neglect, something similar, because she wasn't taking her baby
safety
<br>
serious by steering something when you can't see.

I know some people who are blind who push their strollers
ahead of
<br>
them while using a guide dog and although I dont' agree with
the
<br>
practice, some
<br>
<br>
schools teach their dogs to guide that way if necessary. A
stroller
<br>
is much easier to push then to pull and maybe she felt

pushing hers.

Was no one else asking themselves, what was this blind
mother doing
<br>
pushing her stroller I had of her when crossing a street,
does this
<br>
not place the baby in danger if she was totally blind?
Sounds kind of

Mom's Guide Dog Saves Her Baby From Being Hit by a Car

<br>
Mom's Guide Dog Saves Her Baby From Being Hit by a Car by
Mary
<br>
Fischer Friday at 1:12 PM
<br>
<br>
Mom Jessica Crowley is thanking her lucky stars after her
guide dog
<br>
saved
<br>
<br>
her baby's life by pushing his stroller out of the way of
a car that
<br>
was
<br>
<br>
heading straight for it.
<br>
<br>
Jessica is registered blind, and her black lab, Jet, has
been by her
<br>
side
<br>
<br>
for five years. While getting ready to cross the street
pushing her
<br>
son Jacob's stroller, she heard the screech of a car
coming in their
<br>
direction. And just before it hit, Jet broke loose from
Jessica's
<br>
grip and knocked the stroller out of the way. It did fall
over and
<br>
the baby wound up with a cut on his lip, but if it weren't
for Jet's
<br>
quick actions, something much worse could have happened.
<br>
<br>
Jessica says that Jet loves little Jacob as if he were her
own,
<br>
which is
<br>
<br>
evident based on how she reacted when she realized he was
in danger.
<br>
Who
<br>
<br>
says a dog can't have mama bear instincts -- even if a
human baby is
<br>
the
<br>
<br>
one she's trying to protect? It's amazing how even though
she's
<br>
trained to assist Jessica, she immediately switched gears
and came
<br>
to Jacob's rescue.
<br>
<br>
I'm sure this mom keeps replaying what happened over and
over again
<br>
in her mind -- I know I would if my son had almost been
hit by a
<br>
car. And I
<br>
<br>
don't know how I'd ever be able to give that dog enough
love and
<br>
praise to thank her for what she did -- though something
tells me
<br>
dogs do what they feel is right without expecting anything
much in
<br>

return.

What a blessing it is that Jessica had Jet with her that
day. I'm
<br>
sure every time she hears her sweet baby boy's voice,
she's once
<br>
again reminded of what a gem of a dog she has in her life!
<br>
<br>
Is your dog protective of your baby?
