    • S2E16 - Ambassador Josh leads the way in three countries
      Dec 6 2025

      This is the story of the people and experiences in three places led by my fourth guide dog, Ambassador Josh including Brazil, San Juan Puerto Rico and Mexico. There is no anonymity when traveling with a beautiful dog. Even at 5 in the morning, barely awake, one ends up being an ambassador, like it or not.

      Key people in this episode include my mother OJ, adaptive technology colleagues and the random service people I met at every turn throughout these Spanish speaking locations.
