Being where I want to be five seconds before I'm there (so I can trip over her).

Arrival Story:
Yara was fostered by Tom and Patty Adams in Stonington, CT for about two years before receiving her formal guide dog training at Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation in Bloomfield, CT. We were partenered as a team on December 4, 2007.

Bio:
Yara is my second guide dog; she's incredibly alert and sensitive and continually amazes me with her working abilities. She's very "oral" and likes to have a toy of some sort to carry at all times. (She'd carry one while working in harness if I'd let her.) In November 2008, after many months of staggering weight loss and various tests, Yara was diagnoses with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. She continues on daily supplement treatment to replenish the enzymes she is unable to produce. But through it all, she's maintained a happy, playful girl.
