"GUIDE DOGS FOR THE BLIND" with CEO Christine Benninger

Imagine navigating the world without sight. In this inspiring episode, Christine Benninger, President and CEO of Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), joins us to share how one rescued German Shepherd named Blondie sparked a movement in 1942 to help WWII veterans—and how that mission has evolved into the largest guide dog organization in North America. With over 16,000 guide dog teams graduated , GDB continues to transform lives through the incredible bond between dogs and their human partners. Christine walks us through the organization’s history, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the groundbreaking work they’re doing today. As GDB says, “Everyone deserves to move through the world safely.” This episode will open your eyes to the life-changing role of these extraordinary dogs. www.guidedogs.com www.furrealpodcast.com ig @gdb_official ig @thefurrealpodcast ig@markakyle fb @ Guide Dogs for the Blind fb @ Mark A Kyle tik tok @gdb_official tik tok @thefurrealpodcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
