When support changes everything

For most of his life, Jason lived with an eye condition so rare that it had no diagnosis and no name. Over time everyday situations became harder to navigate. Confidence slipped. Independence faded. And life reached a point that felt deeply challenging.

Jason needed support and somewhere to turn.

Meeting Tyson
That turning point came when Guide Dog Tyson entered his world.

Tyson is calm, clever and incredibly loyal. From the very beginning, he gave Jason more than practical support. He offered reassurance, stability and a renewed sense of confidence.

With Tyson by his side, Jason can move safely through busy spaces, travel independently, and step back into everyday life with certainty and trust.

Finding his way forward
Having Tyson alongside him helped Jason rebuild what had been lost. Where uncertainty once shaped his days, confidence and freedom now lead the way.

Jason describes the impact in his own words:

“I remember right from the very first phone call I made to Guide Dogs, I had a true sense of somebody wanting to help me…it gave me a real sense of reason to go on, knowing everything will be alright. It really helped me begin to build a life again.”— Jason
