[Flagdu] Getting a Guide Dog Soon!

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

Hi Helga.

My name is Patricia Lipovsky from Daytona Beach.

The financials of having a guide dog are very important.  Also, having a 
good sense of direction is also important as you will have to be able to 
direct your dog to get from point a to point b in order to get to your 
destination.

Good luck to you.
