Meet Dixie Lander, Ann Humphries!

Dixie Lander Ann Humphries and guide Brego, hike trails at Lake Jocassee

Meet Dixie Lander, Ann Humphries and her guide, Brego! Ann learned about us thru Top Dog Charleston, 2010, where she met with representatives of various guide dog schools. She applied to Southeastern Guide Dogs and she and Brego were matched.

Ann lives in Columbia, SC with Kirk, her husband of 34 years. Since Ann and Brego were matched, they stay very busy and active. Thru Richland County, she has helped organize hiking trips which foster active lifestyle. She says, "Brego is very much a part of the fun!" In addition, they have appeared before the Richland County Council in favor of approving library funding, and are part of their "Vote for Our Library Team."

Ann and Brego visit Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock, NC. Brego
thinks the little green apples are tennis balls.

Ann serves on the advisory board of the South Carolina Library for the Blind, and continues to be an ambassador for Southeastern, Brego's alma mater.

The Dixie Land Guide Team is always proud to feature our members as they make a difference in their communities, and the community at large, as part of our "Paws 2 Educate" and "Keeping Families Focused" initiatives.

Check back often to learn more about these initiatives, and how you can be a part of the team!

  1. It is true that dogs and humans have an extraordinary bond, and researchers at the University of Arizona need to get to the base of what drives this relationship.We know a ton of it needs to do with their smarts,their smiles and their unbounded limit for cuddles.
