Half of all sight loss is avoidable, so it’s vital we're aware of ‘red flags’ that could signal a threat to our vision & know where to seek help to prevent irreversible vision loss. Do you know the warning signs of an eye emergency? tinyurl.com/eye-emergency #EyeWeek #VisionMatters

Whenever someone asks if I'm training my guide dog for a blind person, I just smile and reply, 'I am the blind person, he is my @guidedogs.' 🐶✨ It's not about how I look; it's about the incredible bond we share. Let's spread awareness and understanding! 💕 #GuideDogs
