Hi All,
Since Nikki has some stupid vision, it took her a long time to decide if a guide dog would be for her. When she first heard about this smart dog that leads a blind person, she thought it was only for totally blind people! And maybe it was true in the 70's & 80's Japan! (Wow! she's old!!!)
She saw a live guide dog for the first time at her blind school in Kumamoto, Japan. One of the teachers got his guide dog from a school in Tokyo. Of course it was the very first guide dog in town, so it was a big deal! The team was on TV, newspaper, everywhere you can think of! Everyone watched the dog with such an amazement! Nikki remembers the serious look on the dog's face! Nikki pondered having a guide dog for a moment at that time, but dismissed the thought quickly. After all, a dog was for totally blind people, and she didn't even want to use a white cane because it made her look ugry and uncool! Actually, she didn't really need a cane because she knew that blind school campus and the dorm so well; she technically lived there since 6 years old!
Well, where is this story going??? Sounds like Nikki was never going to get a dog...
Watch what happens next!
