Hello, my name is Cynthia Bryant, and 16 years ago I went to The Seeing Eye to be matched with my first Seeing Eye dog, a black Labrador/golden retriever cross named Royale. Today I am the first graduate of The Seeing Eye to serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees. This photo shows me standing next to my current Seeing Eye dog, Summer, a Labrador/golden retriever cross. We were on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and behind us is the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African Art.
Every partnership at The Seeing Eye, including mine, begins with love. The love I have for Summer and the love she has for me are the foundation of our partnership. Together, we can do anything. Our story is just one of the thousands that have been written by The Seeing Eye, and more are written every time a new student picks up a harness handle and says, “Forward,” just as I did 16 years ago.
I hope you will join us this month as we share just a few of these incredible stories with you. And you can find more on our website, www.SeeingEye.org.
