You've probably seen guide dogs navigate the streets with their blind owners, but what would you think if you saw a guide horse? Yes, a horse People are often surprised when they first see Panda guiding her owner, Ann Edie. Panda is a miniature horse--she's only 29 inches tall at the withers--and she knows how to help Ann get anywhere she wants to go. Panda sees for Ann, guiding her across busy streets, through crowded buildings, and even into cars or onto trains. Panda is one of the first miniature horses to be trained as a guide animal, and training has been a learning experience for both Ann and Panda. The two use special signals to tell each other when to stop, when to go, or where there might be danger. Together they can tackle almost any situation with confidence. Rosanna Hansen's clear, lively text and Neil Soderstrom's vivid photographs help readers understand the unique relationship between a guide animal and its owner. As Ann says, "Panda and I are partners and friends--and that is a wonderful feeling."
