THERE WE WERE…
…Guide dog Jonah and I were walking down the sidewalk when we came to a stop. I quickly determined that Jonah had pulled up due to the large sign. The issue for Jonah was that the sign was blocking our path.

The workers apologized for the hazard. I was quick to point out that “you were doing fine until I came along.” We all smiled.
Then it occurred to me that a working guide dog is the epitome of “utility work.”
