With Cruz, I can go out by myself for a walk in my neighborhood. I couldn’t do that before I had Cruz. He helps me find my way around school as we go from class to class. I knew guide dogs could be special but I never knew how very special. He is truly changing my life for the better.

My family loves him and I do believe he loves them, too.

I love being a teenager and I love it even more with Cruz. I can walk in the park and the mall now with my friends with Cruz to guide me. I love fiction stories and I love to sing. I think I could say singing is a passion for me. I enjoy traveling and I have been to China…quite an experience. With Cruz, I think traveling will be easier, for sure. It is just super to be able to go outside without having to hold on to someone’s arm. Cruz makes it easier for me to find my way from classroom to classroom in school. Cruz is a special gift, a loyal companion and just one neat guide dog that is changing my life, step by step.
