Email from Massachusetts Commission for the Blind Learn about guide dog services, hear real experiences, and explore resources at mass.gov/guidedogs Celebrating International Guide Dog Day Today, the last Wednesday in April, we celebrate International Guide Dog Day - a day to recognize the important role guide dogs play in the lives of people with vision loss. Guide dogs are highly skilled partners who support safe and confident travel, helping individuals move through the world on their own terms. The partnership between a guide dog and their handler is built on trust, teamwork, and mutual respect. At the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, we honor the work of guide dog organizations and celebrate the independence and choices that guide dog partnerships help make possible. Happy International Guide Dog Day! Harnessing Your Potential: An Introduction to Guide Dog Travel Thank you to everyone who joined our Harnessing Your Potential: An Introduction to Guide Dog Travel webinar on April 25! We explored how the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind helps individuals who are legally blind build the independent travel skills needed to succeed as guide dog handlers. Participants heard firsthand stories from guide dog users Lisa Judelson and Lina Coral, gained insights from Guide Dogs for the Blind, and learned about service dog rights from the Massachusetts Office on Disability.
