[nfbmi-talk] subway and guide dogs

[Mary Wurtzel]

Hello,

I posted a little article about the man who fell off the subway platform.
Actually it was more about the training of dogs in New York.  I did this
because I believe that the atmosphere in our organization is more appositive
toward guide dogs.  I will try to find the original story if folks say they
haven't seen it.  A man fell off the subway platform and his dog jumped down
to rescue him.  

Felix was trained in New York.

Most of you know about my surgery which corrected the  way my foot     sits
flat on the ground now.  I was falling amost every day before having Felix.
I am now no longer wearing the brace or carryingthe support cane.  Felix was
very careful walking on the slushy down driveway yesterday, but he has me
jogging when he knows it is safe.

Much love to our Federation family.

Mary
