It gives him a sense of security, he sits up and relaxes during the ride, listening intently.
He leans his head up against the headrest and grooves, knows he’s in for a quality walk when we stop.
He stays seated patiently until I release his shoulder harness. That’s how he knows we have reached our destination.
I’m learning a lot about the world of blind dogs and of blindness, getting some great exercise in the bargain.
We’ve spent some amount of time nearly every day during the past week exploring the trails in and near Forest Park.
He loves it all. You would never know he was blind, the way he leads me up and down these trails.
Walking him is a lot like guiding a horse, sending signals left or right through the leash, highly interactive, working the slack, occasionally having to use the emergency brake.
I’ve fallen a little behind in posting recent photos, will get caught up over the next several days.
Rex says “Arf. Woof.”
