I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

    I just received my first guide dog Stella about 9 months ago from Leader Dogs for the Blind in Michigan and I’m loving every minute of, she has changed my life so much in the short time we have been a team. It is because of your videos about Gallop that I finally made the decision to get a guide dog and I’m so glad I did. I mean I have known since I was in high school that I eventually wanted to get a guide dog, but my O&M instructor told me that she “did not think that I need a guide dog” well I am glad I didn’t listen to her and that I did get a guide. I will never go back to the cane unless something happens to Stella but hopefully that will be a while. Thank you so much Molly for all of your inspirational videos!

    Megan Ramsey so do people keep their dogs after they retire? I remember the video when molly had the dog psychic visit gallop and molly had stated that she was going to give gallop away when he retires? (Even though it was family she was going to give him to) I thought that was super sad, but assumed that was protocol since she would even consider that.so can people keep their dog? If so, I wonder why molly would even consider giving him to someone else when he loved and took care of her for all those years?

    @@greyedgrl2 for some Service dog programs they require no other dogs in the home, or it could just be a personal decision, sometimes keeping the retired SD in the home makes it harder to bond with the new one or it could make things too difficult and interfer with the new SDs ability to work. Choosing to keep or rehome a retiring SD is a hard and personal decision to make. Also I would imagine with the amount of traveling she does gallop wold have to have a sitter or be boreded alot and he would probably be happier with her dad vs. all that. (Just my opinion only Molly can give the true explanation)

I also have a pet that has been through a lot with me (a Goffin cockatoo) and yes, she's tons of work but pets really do give so much back to their owners. Cheeky has been through grade 9 with me, bullying, losing my confidence, my Traumatic Brain Injury, me mourning the person I was before the injury, etc. (Too much of my identity was wrapped up in being a French Immersion student and basketball player).

    Mines a different kind of dog story. I had just moved in with an (ex) fiancé and really wanted a puggle. The one I wanted was a puppy and $1,000. My mom talked me into going to the adoption center in town and I knew they wouldn’t have a puggle puppy like I wanted. We went through the entire kennel and I didn’t connect with any dogs. We were leaving and a lady at the desk asked if I saw any dog I liked...I told her I didn’t see the kind of dog I wanted. She then (rudely) asked what kind. I told her a puppy puggle. She said come this way..took us to the back quarantine area and sat us down in a room. We waited then she opened the door in runs a puggle (he looks like a mini boxer) about 1 yr old. His name was Cooper and he jumped in my lap facing me and it was love at first sight. His name is Griffy now and he’s about 10...he’s been with me through things that dogs aren’t normally there for...like me grabbing Griffy in the middle of the night after an altercation with that ex fiancé where he broke my phone....took my keys... I had Griffy in my arms ringing neighbors doorbells looking for help. Finally someone answered and Griffy went straight in...I called my parents hysterical while he found a frosty on the floor and ate it. So many other things. He got me through that abusive relationship and breakup. I got hurt 4 1/2 yrs ago and I am currently bedridden. He stays right by me all day everyday. He’s been my one constant in such dark times... especially since I got full body CRPS and my life forever changed. He got a brother Tig (chiweenie) about 5 years ago. Tig stays with us in bed as well. They are my babies... my world. The amount of love I have for Griffy... and Tig...Griffy will always be my #1 though.. is extremely hard to put into words. Griffy has kept me alive. I think of them as physical reminders of how much God loves me and that I’m never alone.

    It's strange because i used to watch your videos Molly because I'm passioned about blind people, how they navigate through life, I love your personnality, I'm obsessed with guide dogs and am going to go through training to become myself a guide dog training, but I never considered myself as someone with a disability. Until 2 days ago when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder... Which, I mean, is a disability, I guess? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this shit... I really enjoy your videos and the hard work you're doing, keep on keeping on

    All dogs are special, but when they have a unique story of how you met them it's even more special :) My black lab ESA/Service dog (I trained him myself) has a special story too. We got him from a breeder and she lived on a cul-de-sac. There was two puppies left and we were in her front yard just kinda getting to know them to see which one we liked. We had brought a harness and leash because we were going to bring one of them home. Well my sweet Rebel decided to go pick up the leash and harness, drop it in front of us and plop down to stare at us like so when are we going home? There was some men working at the house nextdoor and the one across the street. All of them saw this and started yelling oh my goodness that dog picked them! My parents went inside to do the paperwork and Rebel crawled into my lap and fell asleep. The other puppy was just wandering around and wasn't all that interested in any of us. We did hear that he went to a family with twin boys and he really clicked with them, so that's great :)

    Awwwwww... Gypsy! Not really in the same playing field, but my first cat chose me too. He wouldn't leave me. I was on my grandparents farm, and he always had to be right by me, despite everyone around. When we went to leave he jumped in the car, my parents would toss him out, and he kept trying to jump in, and they were worried he was going to hurt himself, so I got to keep him. I miss him every day. It's so sweet that Gypsy loved you so deeply too. 💙

    I'm waiting on my guide dog but ive been around them all my life. A few years ago I use to volunteer at a rehab centre for the blind and visually impaired teaching technology. All people knew I walked in the room as the dogs use to wag their tails heavily on the floor. The best thing is the dogs all had different personalities and match their owners

    I retired my first Service Dog at the end of our summer school semester, about a year earlier than planned due to a medical issue. He is still here with us, but I BAWLED on the way home from our last day at school together and I don't even want to think about the time down the road when he leaves me permanently! My Service Dog in Training that succeeded him is AMAZING in his own way, but yeah, that first one is so incredibly special! Thanks for sharing, Molly!

    Hi Molly, That was a Beautiful tribute to Gypsy ♥️ I had Loved (4) Amazing Dogs that are now in Heaven! It was hard on me losing them. I can't imagine what you went through losing your " Guide Dog" and Best Friend! You are truly inspirational and have such a Beautiful ❤️ Happy Disability Day from one with Disabilities (Stroke, Vision and Balance issues) to another. Also, I lived in SoCa ( L.A. . County and Orange County) from the age of 2-34 the only time "I saw Snow" was when visiting the Mountains! Now, sometimes N.E. Oklahoma , has had Blizzards. Stay Warm ♥️ Blessings from Oklahoma, Piper

    I'm currently training with my assistance dog in training and he is the best dog for me. I love him so much and has so much personality. I remember the first time I met him when he was only 4 weeks old he was on my lap and his mum came to check on him. She's a big girl so couldn't fit on my lap but tried her best and my baby boy started suckling from her whilst still on my lap. He fell asleep latched onto his mom filled up with milk and snuggled into me. ❤

    I’m not disabled or have a guide dog.. but the way you talk about gypsie makes me think of my dog. She’s been there for me through so much, and she always shows me the positives in the negative situations. I really do think of her as my spirit animal, and no other animal or human for that matter will ever be able to replace her.
