February is Black History Month, and we are honored to share the inspiring stories of our graduates. 💙

Meet Lachelle, a professor, director of a Vision Rehabilitation Therapy program, board member for the Guide Dog Foundation, and proud handler of her guide dog Lyra. After experiencing changes in her vision, Lachelle chose the Guide Dog Foundation for its highly recommended program and the ability to provide poodles.

When Lachelle matched with Lyra, she found more than a guide. She found a partner who brought joy, safety, and confidence. As Lachelle shares, “Lyra is not just my guide dog. She is the third daughter I never knew I needed.”

Read more about Lachelle and Lyra’s journey on our blog! Tap the link in our bio.

VD:
1- Lachelle, who is wearing a red shirt and black pants, is sitting on a bench outside on a sports court. Next to her is a large, fluffy white poodle, Lyra, wearing her guide dog harness. Lachelle is smiling, and the sun is shining brightly.
2- Lyra, a cream standard poodle, is lying on a plush dog bed indoors. She has neatly groomed, fluffy fur and is wearing a collar with a yellow tag.
3- Lachelle is walking arm-in-arm with a man in a gray suit and red tie at a formal event. She is wearing a long, elegant red dress and holding onto Lyra’s harness as they walk down the aisle together. Lyra, her guide dog, is well-groomed and focused. The setting appears to be a wedding ceremony.
4- Lachelle is posing with three other women in front of a decorative backdrop with pink, white, and gold balloons. They are all dressed in elegant outfits, and in front of them sits Lyra, looking alert and stylish her harness.
