It's that time of year again when we at Flying Blind, LLC are pleased to announce our participation in the Seeing Eye's 9th Annual "Bidding For Good" Online Auction! When you purchase an item from this auction, you get to be a part of the miracle of transforming a puppy into a world of possibilities for someone who is vision impaired.

We're offering two distance training and consultation bundles to this auction:

Auction is open until April 13th 2017. We're looking quite forward to assisting whomever issues the winning bid for either package this year! Good luck!
