HelWOO,
Gabby here!  I am a once abandoned blind boy, and this is my story....my first 1 1/2 years are not important so the mystery will remain so...my life begins with a very kind rescuer who picked me up at a Vets office when I was abandoned there because I was diagnosed blind.  I was taken to a wonderful home in New York where I waited for my permanent family to find me.

I am a Siberian Husky, quite worthy of my breed...a beautiful red and white, of course my baby blues are no longer clear and bright...but I really don't mind.  It is the humans that sometimes believe sight is important, I can sniff out most anything, have no trouble finding my way around my home and yard...and I am loved.  This is the important part, whether or not I can see is irrelevant...it is love on which we thrive, and offer unconditionally and in abundance.  I have a Siberian pack within my family, and I can run and play as well as my sighted siblings, although I must admit...I do get away with a little more than they do at times...as I am only 2yo I am  the baby! It was with great surprise my Mom watched as I caught a squirrel in the dog
yard...but most astonished was my Siberian sister, also my canine Alpha, as she stood ready to assist my effort.  I really am an independent kinda guy, and my family (both canine and human) do respect my ability to remain so.  I guess it is my job to continue to train them  effectively...but I always remember to offer my kisses as reward and praise.

Whereas my siblings can identify our friends by sight, I do have to give everyone a thorough sniff...which is understandable,  and always acceptable if they are truly our friends.  My family believes those who do not accept my right to sniff, need not return, this is my home too.  Honestly I am not doing too bad for a once abandoned blind boy.

It is my desire to help my family and friends educate those who believe my fellow canines... who like me, are mistakenly labeled handicapped...do have the ability and desire to enjoy life with a family to love them as unconditionally as we love in return.  I will admit, there are times my humans need to verbally cue me to obstacles in my path...but only when we are outside the perimeter of my home and yard.  Is this not a meager pittance for my love?

Respectably, I am being trained to follow the verbal cues of a sleddog...least we pass an unknowing stranger who wishes to admire me...we often play a trick..once when a stranger inquired why the verbal cues...Mom did not hesitate to explain they were sleddog terms, and it is part of  my training for working in harness next winter...I do hope I will be pulling my
humans as we enjoy ski joring together someday soon...but if not, it is fun when we are the only ones who know I am blind, not to mention the boost to my self esteem as we continue our walk knowing we are just as normal as any other canine and human pair out for a walk.

Anyone reading this who still believes those of us who are blind, or otherwise handicapped are not deserving of a chance to live our lives as happily as our fellow canines without disabilities ...please think about it...somewhere out there is someone who underestimated me...and they will
spend the rest of their life without my love.  My family believes this is a terrible price to pay for ignorance, don't you? 
Thank Woo, and big Husky Hugs to All!
Gabby the Happy Boy!
