I saw a lady with no legs yesterday on the bus. She got on using an electric wheel chair, and she had a helping hand dog. I was talking to her about the dog, and she said the dog does all sorts of things including picking up things she's dropped on the floor. Opening the washing machine and taking stuff out, feeding itself, pulling a blanket over her if she falls and bringing her the phone - lots of things I can't even remember.
It's incredible, not that long ago she would have been stuck on a chair in a hospital day room somewhere, but she is managing to live a full and independent life.
