Picture of me with my guide dog Ozzy

People always ask to pat my dog, Ozzy. Unfortunately, I have to say no, because in his harness, he is working. Still, I hate to deny them the pleasure of patting and romping with such a silly dog, so I suggest they come to our home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I’ll remove his harness and allow patting—ceaselessly. Of course, it’s impossible for all who want to pat Ozzy to come to my home, so I invite you into my website instead. There will be a lot less dog hair to deal with!
