๐Ÿพ What does it truly mean to be a guide dog handler?

Our PAGDUS chapter is kicking off a new series where guide dog users share their real-life experiencesโ€”what itโ€™s like day to day, what these partnerships mean, and the independence they provide.

Weโ€™ll also be addressing common myths and helping build better understanding for both sighted individuals and those who are blind or have low vision. ๐Ÿ’š

Follow along and join the conversation!
