The Road to Independence: My Guide Dog Journey

Episode Summary

We know technology wins a lot of the time, but no tech can connect to humans the way our four-legged working friends do, as they steadily lead us along in their trusted Guide Dog harness, encouraging us to get out there with confidence and ease. Beth Deer takes us through her personal (and sentimental) guide dog experiences. Beth’s husband, Cody, will join Beth to introduce their family, their pets, and their faithful guide dog Churro. Alison Evans and her guide dog Onyx were so influential in Beth’s decision to get a guide dog, and Alison speaks to Beth about why she ended up with a guide dog and her advocacy work through the charity Blatchington Court Trust. Plus, Beth is ecstatic to feature Jennifer Bauer, one of Churro’s puppy raisers, on this episode of Reflections. Jennifer is going to talk about what Churro was like as a puppy and the critical role puppy raisers play in everyone’s guide dog journey.
