Mike's Seeing Eye Dogs

Mike May's story is not complete without the amazing dogs that guide him on his worldwide adventures. Since August 1973, he has had the privilege of having Seeing Eye dogs as part of his life. Here they are, from the most recent to the first. Each has a unique personality, strengths and weaknesses. All have been unequivocally dedicated, loving and hard working.
