On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show Harriet is joined by Seeing Eye Dogs handler Kerry Taunton. Kerry talks with us about her life up in Cairns and new partnership with Seeing Eye Dog Pearl and retired Seeing Eye Dog Minka and how she went from the challenges of cancer treatment and losing her sight to gain the confidence and positive attitude she has today.

If you are blind or have low vision and are wondering about beginning your own Seeing Eye Dog journey, our friendly client services team would love to speak with you about your circumstances and mobility needs. You can find out about becoming a handler by visiting our website: https://sed.visionaustralia.org/services giving us a ring at 1800 037 773, or you can email us at [email protected].

We’re also looking for more wonderful puppy carers across select regions of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to raise puppies to create more partnerships like Kerry & Pearl. Carers need time, patience and love to give to a puppy, so if you want to commit to a year of puppy raising, we would love your help. Get in touch to find out about volunteering with us or apply now via our website.
