A remarkable true story of a blind hiker, Bill Irwin, and his 2100 mile journey of faith along the Appalachian Trail with his Seeing Eye dog Orient.
How do you know which way to go?
I don’t. I just follow him.
How does he know?
God leads the Dog. Dog leads me.

You CAN “feel” it with this man. I agree Mimi. You captured it beautifully.

This man’s journey is amazing. It makes any excuse (“I can’t …”) seem pretty lame.

This takes Wild to a whole other level. My father is blind and if I think about which sense might be dispensable, it isn’t my sight.

Incredible. You can sense how he “sees” the world around him through his ears and nose with such intensity. In many ways, he possibly experiences things on a higher level than those of us who are distracted by sight. I love his faith in God to lead the dog.

There’s so much about this clip that takes my breath away: this man’s faith in God, in himself, in his dog. When I watched this clip, I just kept thinking ‘centered,’ this guy has drilled down to the essence of it all. And that’s not a dog, that’s an angel….😊
