Micheal Hingson and Roselle the Guide Dog

Posted on by One Vision

Last year, I wrote a blog post about Micheal Hingson and Roselle his beautiful guide dog.

This is his story of their escape from being in the North tower on the 78th floor on 11th September, after the American Airlines Flight 11 plane was flown into the tower that morning.

Not only did Roselle save Micheal that day. But 30 other people she led down the 78 floors of stairwell to safely.

Here is a interview with him on YouTube from deadtalkspodcast.

Really interesting and powerful story. I will always be in awe of the work guide dogs do for their visually impaired owners.

Weeee!

This is one thing I probably wouldn’t have done today if I could still drive.

There has to be some little perks. It’s best to think positively about the gains of not driving. Not the loss of it.

Sightloss takes away parts of life you easily did and took for granted before. But I’ve found it also gives you things, people, experiences too.

I’m probably overly giddy about a simple bus ride.

It’s like a mini adventure.

I do get excited about the weirdest stuff.

On the bus, going down the motorway! Weeeee!

First time on this hospital shuttle bus. I didn’t even know buses could go onto motorways.

Not the appointment for me I may add. My lovely fella had an x-ray and we always like to make things fun, so hopped on this random bus outside the hospital hoping it would take us back home.

After having to concentrate driving for 29 years then having to stop, even now, after several years, I still love looking out of the window on any form of transport as I couldn’t take it all in before.
