Meet Blessing Offor, jazz singer and pianist, and his guide dog Tommy as they tackle the streets of New York together.
The two moved to the city about six months ago from Nashville, TN. Offor, blind since the age of 5, is pursuing a career in music and says that Tommy’s assistance has been invaluable – allowing him to focus on his work instead of worrying about getting around. Without him, he says “I would have dealt with New York by using a cane, which is a terrifying prospect.”
