LAKE DORA, Fla. — With the sun setting Thursday on Susan Blake’s 77th day without her guide dog, Didi came home into Blake’s arms, getting a hug, kisses and, of course, a doggy treat.
“It truly is a miracle,” said Blake, who as an Episcopal priest doesn’t use such words lightly. “I’m ecstatic.”
Didi was reunited with Blake after a judge issued a preliminary order that said the dog was Blake’s property and was wrongfully taken by Southeastern Guide Dogs of Palmetto, which trained Didi. Southeastern said Blake wasn’t caring properly for Didi and that it had a contractual right to take back the dog.
