"I am blind & work with a guide from Guide Dogs for the Blind; I encountered one of your teams during a recent bus ride. I was apprehensive when the bus driver notified me that another service animal was boarding - as I have had a number of negative experiences with other "service animals". I was in for a pleasant surprise! - Both dog & handler were professional, efficient & courteous. Upon striking up a conversation with the handler - while our dogs completely ignored each other - I learned about the services and training that your organization provides. I was so impressed that I felt compelled to contact you regarding the experience. If this team is any indication of the quality of work your organization is doing then you are turning out some of the finest teams in the country." Kevin L. Bird, Vice-President Rogue Valley Chapter, American Council of the Blind of Oregon
