Small Successes

It was late morning by the time Farmer entered the local drug store to start his final week of Intermediate training with Leader Dogs for the Blind. The store was filled with the hustle and bustle of customers walking in and out, browsing the store and making purchases, but the only sound that Farmer listened for without fail was his instructor’s voice. He weaved in and out of the crowded store aisles like a champ, all the while his tail wagging. After Farmer successfully navigated the store his instructor gave him the signal “forward,” and Farmer led his instructor back through the door with his head and spirits high.
