About this program
When you see a person who is blind walking down the street with a guide dog, do you ever wonder, what is it like to walk with a guide dog? What does the guide dog do at home when not working? Can a guide dog go everywhere the person goes? Is a guide dog perfect? What happens when you need to get a new guide dog? Come and hear guide dog stories that will entertain, engage, and educate. Taken from Kim Kilpatrick’s popular show Raising Stanley/Life With Tulia, this session will answer many of the questions children have about life with guide dogs.
