[nagdu] NFB and Dogs

[Sheila Leigland]

HI WHEN i WAS A CHILD WE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO A BLIND COUPLE THAT EACH HAD GUIDE DOGS. I LOVED THE COUPLE AND THEIR DOGS. THEY WERE THE FIRST ADULT BLIND PEOPLE THAT i HAD MET. mY PARENTS WERE PROTECTIVE BUT i GOT TO GO AROUND WITH sUSIE AND HER DOG. I THINK i KNEW THAT SOMEDAY i WOULD HAVE A DOG. iF MY DAD HAD HIS WAY i WOULD HAVE HAD A DOG AT SIXTEEN. mY DAD HAD ALWAYS REMINDED ME THAT IT WAS A POSIBILITY.
