SHE GUESSED SHE WAS ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE AND OTHER THAN THAT, 4@@ THEY KNEW THEY WOULD FIGURE OUT
THE REST.
4@ TURNS OUT REESEY'S AGE 4@WON'T
THE 4@ONLY ONLY MYSTERY ABOUT
HER.
>> WE DON'T EVEN ACTUALLY KNOW,
I GUESS, BECAUSE 4@WHEN WE
ADOPTED HER, THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
BUT SHE'S PROBABLY TEEN BETWEEN
12 AND 4@14 SO SHE IS AN OLD
GIRL.
>> RESCUES ALWAYS STRIKE ME AS @
HAVING LIVED SO MANY LIVES
BEFORE THEY EVEN CO4@ME TO US.
WOULD YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHERE
THEY COME FROM OR WITH THEIR
STORY IS.
WHEN WE ADOPT REESEY, SHE WAS
JUST SO OR 4@THE OF GENTLE AN
QUIET 4@AN SWEET AN SHE IS JUST
SUCH A DIFFERENT DOG.
EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS QU4@ITE
UNIQUE.
>> I'M OVER HERE.
>> YOU BRING THE 4@NEW DOG HOME
AND RIGHT 4@AWAY, YOU NOTICED
SOMETHING WAS 4@NOT COMPLETELY
RIGHT ABOUT REESEY.
>> YEAH, EVEN IN THE SHELTER,
EVEN IN THE 4@SHELTER, SHE WAS
JUST SORT OF TUCKED IN THE BACK
CORNER, VERY, VERY SHY, 4@VERY
BEING VERY SCARED.
GOT HER HOME.
WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO, WE
REALIZED THERE WAS SOMETHING 4@
NOT QUITE RIGHT.
WE TOOK 4@HER TO THE SWEAT AND
DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE 4@VET
REALIZE, WE THINK SHE CONDITION
SEE.
SO THE VET LITERALLY WAVED 4@HE
HAND FROM FRONT OF HER EYES4@.
THE DOG DIDN'T MOVE 4@AT ALL.
HE'S LIKE YEP, SHE'S 4@BLIND.
IT DENT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR AN
EXPERT TO REALIZE.
THAT OPENED UP EVERYTHING FOR
US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO
THEN.
>> YOU HAVE A SISTER OR HAD A
SISTER WHO WAS BLIND.
>> SHE WAS THE SWEETEST, MOST
WONDERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD.
SO I HAD BEEN AROUND 4@BLINDNES
SHE HAD SO MEN OTHER SPECIAL
NEEDS.
BLIND'S WAS JUST ONE MANY.
BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT I REALLY --
WHEN I THINK BACK ON IT,
GRETCHEN AND REESEY, THEY JUST
LIKE 4@SIMPLE THINGS.
>> YOU ARE HOME NOW.
YOU UNDERSTAND THIS DOG 4@IS NO
EXACTLY WHAT YOU EXPECTED.
BUT YOUR FAMILY EMBRACES THE
EXPERIENCE AND THAT PROMPTS TO
YOU WRITE A BOOK.
>> I 4@JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A
GREAT STORY.
AND I JUST STARTED KIND OF
KICKING AROUND THE IDEA OF
WRITING A CHILDREN'S BOOK.
HOW CAN I RAISE AWARENESS AN
MAYBE RAISE SOME FUNDS.
>> FOR 4@ANY DOG, THIS IS 4@A H
JOURNEY.
BUT I'M 4@BLIND SO IT WAS EVEN
HARDER. 4@
>> BETWEEN HAVING FRIENDS HELP
ME WITH THE EDITING AN
ILLUSTRATIONIC FEEL LIKE I'M
MORE 4@A PROJECT MANAGER.
>> IN WRITING THIS BOOK, YOU
HAVE ARGUABLY A LIFETIME OF
FAMILIARITY WITH 4@SOMEONE WHO
BLIND AND NEW YOU HAVE THIS
LITTLE DOG WHO HAS THE SAME
THING GOING 4@ON.
I WOULD LOVE 4@TO KNOW WHAT4@
PERHAPS REESEY HAS TAUGHT YOU
BUT ALSO WHAT 4@YOU WANT KIDDOS
WHO ARE GOING 4@TO READ THIS TO
TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE BOOK.
>> REESEY AND 4@GRETCHEN, I THI
WHO ARE GOING 4@TO READ THIS TO TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE BOOK. >> REESEY AND 4@GRETCHEN, I THI@
THE NUMBER ONE LESSONS THEY
TAUGHT ME IS JUST APPRECIATE
THE SIMPLE PLEASURES IN LIFE
AND ESPECIALLY IN A PANDEMIC.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH MORE
GROUNDED AND YOU ARE STUCK AT
HOME AND YOU CAN'T DO 4@THE
THINGS YOU 4@WANT IT DO.
WELL, REESEY IS PERFECTLY
CONTENT TO JUST SIT AROUND AND
EAT AN LAY AROUND AND BE PET AN
ENJOY THE SUN.
SO TO SLOW DOWN AND RELAX.
FOR CHILDREN RODING THE BOOK, I
THINK TO SUNDAYS THAT JUST
BECAUSE YOU ARE BLIND, WHETHER
YOU ARE A DOG OR A PERSON, 4@
DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE UNHAPPY.
THIS DOG IS AN AMAZING HUGGER.
YOU KNOW, SOME DOGS CAN HUG.
SHE WILL JUST WRAP HER HEAD
AROUND YOU AND YOU CAN BE THE
SADDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN 4@AND
YOU PICK HER UP AN SHE GIVES
YOU A HUG.

BE COMPANIONS 4@FOR 4@FOLKS WIT
