Over the past year, I've had the privilege of raising future guide dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. From Palmer, who recently began harness training (and is even expecting his first and only litter!), to Yazzy, my current pup on program, I've had a front-row seat to the incredible journey these dogs take from playful puppies to life-changing partners.

This September, Yazzy and I are taking on the Guiding Eyes Wagathon by completing a marathon's worth of miles throughout the month. While 26.2 miles may sound like a lot, it's nothing compared to the journey these incredible dogs take before they're ready to change someone's life.

Every dollar raised helps Guiding Eyes continue breeding, raising, training, and matching guide dogs with people who are blind or visually impaired—all at no cost to the individual receiving their guide.

If Guiding Tales has ever made you smile, laugh, or taught you something new about guide dogs, we'd love your support. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. ❤️🐾
