Awhi

On August 2nd 2021, a Blind and Low Vision guide dog instructor arrived at my door with this black bundle of energy. Over the next few days we fell in love with each other. I’d always wanted to get a guide dog as my eyesight decreased. For me I’ve always been a dog person and knew I’d trust that bond more than a white cane (this is not the same for everyone). The process to get Awhi was very through. Awhi has had many wonderful people who taken care of her through her life including her amazing puppy walkers who ensured she had an enriched start and exposure to her life. Since then our bond has become so strong, we are one person. She loves going places, loves work and has ravelled overseas. I can’t imagine a life without her. We’re so lucky to work with the Pinnwcle PAC team where she is just as much part of the team than I am. All the money raised goes to supporting the training and support of these precious dogs to continue to give independence and confidence to people with Blind and Low Vision.
