These are just a few of the obstacles the family has to overcome. In the end, will they succeed?

Author Bio:
Stephanie is a retired teacher and life long pet owner. She lived in the Morristown, New Jersey area for most of her life and witnessed many Seeing Eye dogs being trained on the town’s streets. In 2005 she decided to raise a puppy for The Seeing Eye. Raising Otter was taken from her experience of raising five puppies.
Stephanie volunteered for Seeing Eye for 15 years. First washing and filling bowls and walking the adoptable dogs. As an educator, she decided her skills would be put to better use as a tour guide and outreach volunteer where her puppies where able to play a roll in educating the public. She also volunteered at the breeding station, offered her sewing skills to repair well worn puppy vests used by puppy raisers and took on the role of tour guide co-coordinator.
Stephanie moved to western Massachusetts in 2020 and now lives on a 4 acre compound with her husband, children and
grandchildren plus her current rescue dog Lottie. She continues to write books for children and is also working on two non-fiction books for the grownups, a self-help book and unique kind of coffee table book. So stay tuned! :-)
“I feel so blessed to be have been able to play a part in the lives of these amazing guide dogs. Now I open my home to those most in need, rescue dogs. All dogs are great teachers on living in the moment in joy. SKL
