Bach is a male Black Lab, born 11
December 2004. He was raised by Christine and Michael of Naples as their 2nd dog
raised for GEB. Bach passed his IFT on 9 May 2006 and graduated with his new partner on 26 May 2007. Following
graduation, he flew to Tempe, Arizona with his partner, Jacquelyn.
Jacque travels extensively so Bach will need to get a passport and become
bilingual!

From the GEB website:
Jacquelyn O. traveled all the way from Tempe, Arizona for Bach, her second
guide dog, but first from Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Jacque’s sight loss was
diagnosed as retinitis pigmentosa 22 years ago. Married for 36 years and mother
of two, Jacque is also a very proud grandmother of one grandson. She came to
Guiding Eyes as the result of some comprehensive research, and later strong
recommendation from a Guiding Eyes graduate from Brazil. (As a result of that
friendship, she has traveled to Brazil eight times, and has many friends there.)
Jacque received her Masters in Food Science that qualified her to work in the
field of Quality Assurance. She loves to travel, and volunteers for
disability-related organizations. She has acted in leadership roles for Tempe’s
Mayor’s Commission on Disability Concerns, The Foundation Fighting Blindness and
others. In her spare time, Jacque enjoys making pottery with clay, listening to
music, walking, fishing and has also sung with her Lutheran church choir. She
notes that Bach has a quiet composure and conducts himself superbly. Jacque
knows that now she can do anything, and go anywhere she wants to go. Of Guiding
Eyes for the Blind, she says: “I’m so glad I made the change. Here I have met a
variety of people, my dog is perfect and the entire program, in every way, has
far surpassed my expectations!”
