Leader Dogs for the Blind empowers people who are blind or visually impaired with lifelong skills for safe and independent daily travel. The non-profit’s second annual “Dinner in the Dark,” held at the MGM Grand Detroit, presented over 400 patrons with many different experiences, including eating the evening’s 3-course meal blindfolded as well as a blindfolded guided walk through an obstacle course with a leader dog. Thirty dogs, in various stages of their training, attended the event which raised nearly $200,000 for programs and services for people who are blind, visually impaired or deaf-blind.
