Yael and Sol
Sol is
one of our seven guide dogs for the
deaf-blind that have moved on to
help their owners.
.In the year 2007 I
found my eye condition weakening
very fast and I was told I was going
blind. It truly was very challenging
for me to have to give up my
driver.s license and it felt like my
independence had been taken away
from me.,
explains Yael.
.We knew that Sol would help Yael
with picking up dropped items and
alerting her to necessary sounds,
but we didn't realize she'd really
become an extension of her.,
shares Yael's mother. |
