[nagdu] I must brag on my pup

[Deanna Lewis]

Aleeha,
Back in my days before I had a guide dog, my vision was better, but I never had much depth perception. I was using my cane (but wasn't paying much attention) and almost stepped off what I thought was a normal curb, but it was actually a 3-4 foot wall! Thankfully, it didn't look quite right, so I backed up and walked around it, and then I could see how tall it was.
Yes, that was the day that I really could have used a guide dog. Luckily, I had already applied and was just waiting for my class date /smiles/.
Deanna and Pascal

What a good boy!

I know Motley's good with intelligent disobedience because he will stop walking when a car comes, and he won't let me move until the car passes. 

Keep up the good work,

Chantel and Motley.

Hello all,
  I must write and brag on my Dally boy.
  Yesterday, I was walking out of the student union, following a friend. My friend went down a step and I made to follow her. Dallas froze, indicating the step. I praised him, told him forward, and he wouldn't budge. I scolded him, told him forward and he looked at me, stepped back, and angled his body in front of me, pushing me back with his shoulder. I then heard my friend smeak, from far below where I was. The step was about two and a half feet high! Thank you Dallas for saving me a broken leg and thanks to Seeing Eye for teaching this beautiful boy the intelligent disobedience that just saved me serious harm.
Aleeha and Dallas the champ
