Still according to Galindo, dog guides make a positive impact not only in that person’s life but also in the lives of everyone involved. For Maurer, they have helped her family sleep through the night.

“Right from Izyk’s birth, he never slept through the night. Not once. So for many years we didn’t get much sleep. And then Leroy comes home, and the first night Izyk slept through the night, it was kind of a miracle,” she said.
