There's more to Geraldine than meets the eye.

This week Simon chats to Geraldine Lane, a dog guide and wheelchair user, and Matt Wood, a Seeing Eye Dog instructor; about the importance of having a service dog and the confidence they bring. 

When Geraldine's health was affected by a lung disease she was seriously concerned that her independence and physical activity would be restricted, not necessarily by having to use a wheelchair, but by not being able to use a Seeing Eye Dog. Geraldine reached out to Matt and the team at Seeing Eye Dogs Australia (SEDA) who are implementing a program to train dogs to serve wheelchair users. With the help of her dog, Noodle, she has regained confidence and freedom of movement to complete everyday activities.

Please remember the golden rule with Service Dogs is that when they're in the harness, they are working and should not be disturbed. We hope you enjoy this informative and inspirational episode.
