Sometimes There's Side Eye

13-06-2024 • 1 hr 14 mins

In this episode we have an in depth conversation with special guests Cindy and Khrisann about their life with a seeing eye dog. Cindy is legally blind and June is her current seeing eye dog. CIndy gives us the inside scoop on guide dogs including the process of getting one, going to school to be matched with your dog, retiring a guide dog, and what happens when a dog is not a good fit. Cindy also shares how things like the pandemic and the rise of eclectic cars can and has affected training. Khrisann shares her unique perspective of living with a guide dog as a seeing person. They also share how fake service dogs have impacted the service and guide dog community at large and their own detrimental experiences with fake service dogs. Even though we have known these two for years we learned so much in this interview, and we think you'll find the interview equally informative, thought provoking and entertaining.
