Meet Link: circa 1998.
 | ||
| When Ty was 15 years old, he raised a black lab puppy for Guide Dogs for the Blind. For the last 12 years, Link has been a seeing-eye dog for a blind man. A few months ago, he was retired. Two weeks ago, we got a call asking if we'd like him back... |
Meet Link: circa 2010.
When we got the call, we both knew the answer was an enthusiastic "yes!" Ty has always dreamed of the day when we would have a dog in our home. I've never had a pet in my life, but I instantly felt like this would be a great blessing for our little family. As most of you know, I will soon be going without Ty for a couple months, and I honestly feel like a dog to watch over me and Jack is a gift from heaven.
And not just any dog...
And not just any dog...

Sooooo Cool!!!! He looks great! Can't wait to see him in person!
Oh man!! he looks awesome. Wish we were closer, it will be hard to wait.
Jason and I are excited for you! We were just thinking last night that Link will probably be great company for you and Jack while Ty's gone.
How cool is that?! I am so not a dog person, but man that dog is beautiful and obviously well trained and thus the perfect dog! What a fun story!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! My mom said this might happen and I can't believe it really has! One day you will wonder how you ever lived without him. What a perfect story!
My favorite picture is of that 15-year old cousin of mine! Man, Ty looks so young there. Congrats on having Link return at just the right time!
