"While the mission of Guiding Eyes is to create guide dogs, there is a bigger mission at hand for me. It’s simple: to make the world a better place by giving love, caring for another, building friendships, and learning acceptance of my weaknesses and learning about others.” ?⠀

"During this pandemic emergency, my trainer was detailed and mindful in a way that could only result in success. She presented as professional and positive, but also serious and highly conscious of maintaining our safety. With Guiding Eyes I’ve enjoyed successful partnerships and a treasure of support. This organization is very important to me. I’d never go anywhere else.”
