Blinded By Lies, Reborn In Blood

Two years after I went blind in a horrific accident, my husband Julian Hayes decided I’d spent enough time cooped up indoors. Out of "love," he brought home a registered guide dog for me.

"Nora, with Rusty by your side, you won't have to be trapped alone anymore. You can go wherever your heart desires!"

His gentle encouragement washed over me like a warm wave, filling me with hope.

The very next morning, I stepped outside holding Rusty’s leash. But instead of the peaceful stroll I imagined, terrified screams shattered the air. People were fleeing from me as if I were a plague.
