    You probably won’t ever see this but if you do you are amazing. My dad Lawrence Gunther who you may know is fully blind and has gotten all of his guide dogs at Mira foundation as well. He has hade 8 dogs and each one of them has tough him a different lesson.His most recent guide dog, Moby just passed away and my dad explains the feeling as loosing your eyes and your best friend at the same time. Me and my family are having a hard time getting threw the voide in the house but I can’t imagine how hard the situation is for him. I was so excited when I was watching your videos and saw Gallops Mira harness I told my dad about you and he was like “ oh ya I know Molly I was just on the phone with her dad” I thought that was pretty damn cool. If you read this comment all the way threw thanks for listening to the story you are a truly inspiring person and I hope you never lose your sparkle. 😘😘💗

    when I lost my first guy dog and I found out he was going to die I actually screamed and collapsed into the arms of the bed onto the floor and cried it was the worst thing that it ever happened to me and I had previously lost both my parents within two years and I didn’t react that way. I felt as if somebody had ripped my heart out and stomped on it. The only thing that slightly pulled me out of that with the fact that I had gotten a second guy died when my first one had retired and I was lucky he was there because I was truly alone at that point I have lost pets before but it was nothing like losing my guide dog. My first dog was literally my light that pulled me out of the darkness and the fear of losing my vision .

    Wow. It's really weird when your subscriptions cross over in random ways. I've been subscribed to her channel for quite some time. I found her through another blind youtuber, Tommy Edison, who is absolutely hilarious. Give them a sub, they're awesome people ;)
