I, too, have a guide dog and am working my third. The first worked for five
years before he started having some health problems and had to be retired.
The second I had for four months but things didn't work out. Now, I have
Mercy, a female yellow lab, and I've had her for almost two years. I
wouldn't have it any other way. I love working a dog and don't know what I
did before I got one, even though I was 19 when I got my first dog, so it's
not like I waited until later on to get my first, but still, having one
definitely changed my life. All three of my dogs have come from Pilot. Take
care.

Hi, I have a Seeing Eye Dog too. A good school is vital. I've had
wonderful dogs from Seeing Eye. I had polio in my right leg and
so they have to pick out a really super dog that will be careful
of sidewalk bumps and edges. I'm on dog 4 now, and they have
picked out wonderful matches for me.
Izzy is a black labradore female and will be 7 years old in
September. I live alone so I can't imagine being here without
her. She's not only a great guide, but a wonderful companion and
my best friend. It's nice to hear about others on the list. It
makes people more real. I'll do an email about me soon.
Jane and Izzy
