Man walks a dog on a sidewalk. Caption. And then he goes two blocks south and turns.

Animals provide more freedom to people with blindness, and with the help of these animals, these people can then return to the many activities they love. Bill, who has severe allergies, gets help from a service dog. Never mind that the dog has a mind of its own! Sam, an equestrian champion, does not let blindness stop her competitive riding. After she went completely blind, she found the perfect horse that she could trust implicitly.
