A video of Brodie and me taking a round trip walk from our house to Eisenhower Park which is approximately a mile loop and set to some great music.
I've been a quadriplegic for over 13 years and I'm in just about the best position for somebody who can't move anything below their shoulders to be in. I stay with my parents who take on my care at night and my best friend who I've know since we were 16 is my daily caregiver.
Shawn; my caregiver has an Australian Shepherd-Border Collie that comes over every day. He is a very smart dog. He is not a service dog but he does improve my quality of life just by being around. The excitement Brodie gets when Shawn brings my wheelchair into my room is awesome to see and it makes me feel like I'm doing something good for him.
Brodie is almost 3 years old and we've been enjoying our walks for most of that time 3 to 5 days a week. It's great to be able to get up and out of the house by myself even if only for an hour. Being a quadriplegic doesn't allow much private time since I need somebody to do everything for me except speak and chew my food. So try to imagine how good it would make you feel to do anything by yourself if you are or were in my position.

Shot 100% on the HD HERO® camera from GoPro®. I borrowed a GoPro HD from a friend. Would love to get one of my own. Come on GoPro send me one.
Good stuff! C4 here. Great to see you out and about. Most people are under the impression we don't want to, or are incapable, of doing anything. Keep on moving!
