5/8/2023 0 Comments Thunder Dog by Michael Hingson![]() ![]() I could tell that she would be an excellent guide from our very first walk together. ![]() It was obvious from the very beginning that we were a perfect match. I think I first met her on November 22, 1999. I must say that I think the culture did rub off on her.Īfter her time with puppy raisers she went back to Guide Dogs for the Blind for training. Kay and Ted introduced her to airplane flying, New York, snow, and even the theater. Kay and Ted Stern had the joy and pleasure of spending the longest amount of raiser time with her. She went to Santa Barbara, California to be raised by several puppy raising families. I heard right from the start that she was quite a mischievous little puppy. Roselle was born on Maat Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, California. I write with joy because Roselle is in a better place, no longer feeling pain, while I get to have so many fond memories of her. I am sad, of course, because I will miss Roselle so very much, more than any of my other guide dogs. I have the solemn obligation to inform you that my hero guide dog, Roselle, who was with me in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, passed away last evening, Sunday, Jat 8:52 PM. Nevertheless, it is something which must be done. It is strange for me to be writing this article while I have feelings of both sadness and joy in my heart. ![]()
