Running Marathons Blind With Guide Dog
Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (05-12-2018) #570: Featuring Thomas Panek, Arin Greenwood, and Kim Brophey. Thomas Panek, CEO of Guiding Eyes (guidingeyes.org), talks about the first Wag-a-thon (https://give.guidingeyes.org/wag-a-thon), a virtual marathon everyone can do on their own during the month of May, which is a fund-raiser to offset the costs of the service dogs provided for free at Guiding Eyes for the Blind — and Thomas’ own experiences as a blind man running in actual marathons with his guide dog; Arin Greenwood’s futuristic novel YOUR ROBOT DOG WILL DIE imagines a future in which dogs have been outlawed; Kim Brophey’s book MEET YOUR DOG divides breeds of dogs into categories that suggest the kind of dog that will best suit your personality and lifestyle.
