Summer Salz and Lark

Pomona, New York - just across the Hudson River from Yorktown Heights is presently the home of Summer Bourne Salz. Summer is enjoying her first experience at Guiding Eyes for the Blind and her new companion, Lark - a bubbly, energetic, smart, intuitive dog. Legally blind since birth, Summer is a cool, calm, collected young woman who has an earnest interest in people and their “stories.” She is a graduate of Vassar and Harvard, and just spent nine months in France. Summer is aiming toward a career in elementary (arts) education and longs to be involved with children and to touch their young lives in a meaningful way. In speaking about the June class, Summer found the camaraderie great, the instructors incredible and the dogs amazing! She said, with sincerity and great enthusiasm, that her training period at the Yorktown Heights facility was not only valuable, but extraordinaire!!! Oui, Oui, mademoiselle!
