Top Dog Holiday Contest
Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) gave me courage and hope at a time in my life when my vision was rapidly decreasing. Life was becoming more challenging, and I was sinking into a mild depression. After falling on my head a few times and being hit by a car while walking with friends in Laguna Beach, I was convinced I needed a guide dog. I applied for a guide dog and was accepted. My first guide dog, Braxton, co-raised by Bay Area raisers Mary Kay Batina and Clair Lee Gardner, was a perfect fit! He loved working at the middle school where I taught. The two of us frequently traveled across the country. Braxton gave me courage. I’m happy to say at the end of his twelfth year he is enjoying his pampered retirement in our home.
My successor guide, Moto, raised by Colorado raiser Julie Andrews, is six years old and looks forward to our daily adventures. Moto is flexible and loves the lifestyle of a sixty something retiree! He is playful, eager to learn new skills, loves the outdoors, and even swims in our pool. Moto gave me hope. Every day is a new day filled with possibilities!
To show my appreciation for giving me courage and hope through two stellar Labrador retrievers, Braxton and Moto, I’ve created a fundraiser along with my team OC Guide Dogs to raise funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind. No amount of giving is too small. Every bit helps reach our goal. Your kindness and support can truly change lives. It will help GDB provide exceptional training, support, and education to amazing human and canine teams – all free of charge. Click here for the Top Dog Contest for GDB
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can make a PAWSitive impact for individuals who are blind or visually impaired like myself.
