[nagdu] Congresswoman Gabby Giffords has a service dog from GDF

[Mary Wurtzel]

Hello,

I just celebrated our one year anniversary of getting Felix from the Guide
Dog Foundation.
I have shared before that Felix is a balance and a guide dog.  He does some
of the things that Janine Stanley shared.  It has been a wonderful year for
us.  I have a dog on one side, and a support cane on my other side.  We have
been walking in many stores for the winter and two malls.  
I was told by a member of the NFB that GDF would train a balance and guide
dog for me.  
I pray that Gabby Giffers is successful.  
Mary

Hello,
the plus for us, with guide dogs, is having someone like Gabby using a 
dog, she can brake the ice threw out the country problems we have had 
for years.
I am glad for her, no matter the school.
Wishing her the best.
I would be interested in learning how she chose gdf.
