Imagine the most heart-wrenching. Imagine theyre the same thing. It is raising a puppy for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. When you become a puppy walker for the Guide Dog Foundation, you embark on what will be one of the most fulfilling experiences youve ever had making a difference in the life of someone with disabilities by raising a puppy to become a guide or service dog. Without our family of puppy raisers called Puppy Walkers (but they do far more than walk puppies) there would be no guide dogs for people who are blind or visually impaired, no service dogs for people with other disabilities. Were looking for special people to open their hearts and homes to help start a puppy on its career as a guide or service dog. Wont you join our family? Make a difference and give a gift to someone you havent met yet. Become a puppy walker. Click here to learn more about the puppy program at the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. Etiquette and People Who Are Blind Governor David Paterson of New York is the first legally blind governor in the United States since a lieutenant governor of Arkansas, who had been blinded in World War II, became governor for 11 days in 1975. In the 20th century, there were a handful of politicians who were blind and served in the U.S. Congress. Paterson is an advocate for people with disabilities, and his assumption of the role of governor will increase the profile of people who are blind or visually impaired. The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind has developed an etiquette tip sheet for what to say and do and not say and do when you meet a person who is blind or visually impaired.
