Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry

Disney recently re-released Atta Girl, Kelly! to commemorate The Seeing eye's 80th anniversary. (The link takes you to a page on TSE's site with some photos of memos and things from TSE's archives, and an audio greeting from Disney to TSE grads. I have to try WebVisum on the memos to see if it will actually OCR them for me.) The movie is only available to Disney movie club members...and eBay shoppers. I got mine today.

I saw it a few years ago, but it seems especially relevant now, and not just because my dog is from TSE. The movie is about a German Shepherd who was a bit goofy as a pup. She became the guide for an attorney who had a major case of second-dog syndrome.

Uhm.

That's kinda my life. (Except the attorney was a guy, and also, he was an attorney.)

I was teary-eyed while watching it. There's also a TSE featurette at the end.

The dog who played Kelly while she as guiding became a TSE breeder.

Hi There,

Just a note to say that you can purchase Atta Girl, Kelly from Amazon.com. The dvd is not sold by Amazon.com, but is sold through other sellers of Amazon.com products.
Cheers,
Julia
