[Nfbf-l] The end of my partnership with my beloved Seeing Eye dog Jilly

[Doreen Franklin]

Carlos

There are not enough words! Jilly has been your companion/guide dog for
only a short amount of time, but I know you and she had a very special
relationship that has been cut short. My prayers are with you. Just know
that you are doing the right thing for Jilly, and that she will live out a
quieter life!



Prayers are also with you as you look for and find your next guide dog!


Hope you have a great day!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines a person or our future. Every day, NFB raises
the expectations of people who are blind because low expectations create
obstacles between people who are blind and  our dreams. You can have the
life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
