RE: Guide dog in United States-help me Please 🙏

When I lived in Philadelphia, someone in my building passed from 
a heart attack.  I was holding his dog so that the Seeing Eye 
could come and get him.  My dog was at the vet at the moment.  
She had gotten pancreatitis.  When I went to take her to the vet, 
I asked someone to mind the other dog that I was holding.  She 
fed the dog.  Then she asked someone else to take the dog, and 
she fed the dog again.  I was asked by a neighbor in the building 
on my floor to visit them without the dog with me.  When I got to 
my apt, the dog had spent all over my living room.  I then took 
him out, and he spent again.  When the Seeing Eye came to get the 
dog, I asked if I could have the harness handle, because mine was 
coming apart.  The instructor asked me what I planned to do with 
it.  I wish I could have seen his face.  LOL!!

At the Seeing Eye, you pay $150 for the first dog, and you pay 
$50 for every dog after that.  The first time you are there 26 
days.  After that, you go back for only 3 weeks instead of 4 for 
your second dog and the rest of them.  Guide Dog Foundation, and 
Freedom Guide Dogs do not charge for their dogs.  When I went to 
Leader Dogs, the Lions Club paid for the dog.  Freedom will come 
to your home and train you in your own neighborhood.

Hi Kiruna,

When I went to the Seeing Eye, there were a few people from 
Canada there.  They did not come to visit me before I went for 
the first time, but they had me go there for an interview and and 
a walk with an instructor and a dog harness.  I passed their 
walking test.  They did not make me walk with a cane, just with 
an instructor and a dog harness.  The second time that I went, 
they sent me exercises to do.  They also took me home.  If I 
needed them, I would call them, and then they would come out to 
my home or work sesting.
