 Hi, my name is Daniel. I have a guide dog, Jason. We've been together for three years. I'm Erin and my guide dog is Jet. Jet and I have been working together for almost two years. I'm Nikita and I've had my first guide dog, Arlo, for just over 15 months. My name is Stephanie Agnew. I've had my guide dog, Rocky, for two and a half years. There are so many things I love about having a guide dog. If there is suddenly an unexpected obstacle in our way, Jet will go around it. The independence that he's given me back and especially the companionship that he provides me. It's given me back the confidence that I no longer had after I lost my sight. He follows me everywhere and helps get a feeling of empowerment and control in an otherwise chaotic world. He can go on a boat, he can go on aircrafts, he can go into the coffee shops, into the gyms, into the offices. He walks in rain, in hail, in thunder. I just cannot describe to you how well they are trained. They never ever falter. Jet gives me the ability to live my life the way I want to live it and to be able to do the things that I want to do and I can't imagine my life without him now. Rocky's personality changes. When he's in harness, he's very serious and does a really good job working. But when he's out of harness, he's definitely cheeky and very playful. Hollow is an energetic and determined dog. He has figured out how to sniff things on the move while walking and if we go out for a walk during dinner time, he'll try to guide me back home. One day we were walking along and he had his head buried in some gorgeous flowers. He is a boy who loves to stop and smell the roses. Do I have a message for the guide dog supporters? Of course I do. I love them all. I love you all and I don't know how to thank you enough. I want to say a huge thank you to all of guide dog supporters. You have absolutely changed my life. Your contributions changed the lives of people by helping raise and train our beautiful dogs. Your contributions to guide dogs has absolutely changed my life. I wouldn't have jet if it wasn't for you and I will always be so incredibly grateful to you and the guide dog team for the incredible gift you've given me. Happy International Guide Dog Day!
