[nabs-l] Guide dogs at an early age

[Ignasi Cambra]

Someone asked in an other thread how Matt Cooper was given a guide dog at age 11. I got my dog at the same time as him from the Mira foundation in Quebec. Their website is www.mira.ca. They select a small group of children every summer and give them guide dogs. One needs to pass a few tests and be able to travel independently with a cane in order to get into the program. I still have the dog they gave me in 2004 and would never think of geting my next one from anywhere else. My experience with them was just fantastic.
