NH Association of the Blind Walkathon
Mini Style

 

Members of Shared Gifts walked last Saturday in support of the NH Association of the Blind and demonstrated what a "seeing eye " Mini would look like in small shoes (so doesn't slip on linoleum of hospitals, etc).  Minis are becoming popular in this profession because they live so much longer than dogs and they do all the same things.
