Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.

Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

What is the primary purpose of this blog?

to inform readers about seeing-eye dogs
to entertain readers with stories about Lexie
to persuade readers to support service dogs
to convince readers to adopt seeing-eye dogs

“Life on the Sea”

The storm roiled on the horizon as rough waves rocked the helm of the fishing vessel. The captain had known the storm was coming—he had watched the weather reports for the past several days of the journey—but he started to question his decision as the waves got more powerful. One wave slapped the vessel and knocked him to the deck; when he stood up on unsteady feet, he grabbed the wheel with both hands. Though he had been a fishing boat captain for years and knew that the sea was the safest place for a vessel in a storm, these moments always terrified him.

He had spent most of his life on the sea; he knew the habits and nuances of the water like it was his closest friend. The calmness that he felt when the water was placid wasn’t like any stillness that he experienced on land. And though he didn’t like the choppy waves when he could barely stay upright, he knew that these moments were necessary too. It was like life—in order to get to the peace, he had to weather the storm.

His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles from shore. She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk—the stable job in an office downtown that Marla wanted him to have. He had tried things her way, but that had only lasted a couple years; after a while, she could tell that he was miserable, and she gave him her permission to do what he loved. He gave his job two weeks’ notice and was back on the sea right away.

He knew he missed things while he was away on these fishing boats: he listened to his wife’s voice over an unreliable cell phone connection. He’d had to watch his daughter Ky speak her first words on a video that chirped into his phone. And though he’d been there for her first steps, he’d missed her first day of preschool, and there would inevitably be other milestones that he would miss.

He stared into the blackness of the storm and knew that the fishermen below deck were relying on him to get them safely back to their families—he knew this because he was aware of how his own family relied on him. He knew that he had to stay focused, even when he wanted to think about what his wife was doing now. He would see her in a week—and he’d be able to take his daughter to school again. He’d be able to go to the grocery store and the park and do all the everyday things that he missed while at sea.

He touched the picture of his family that was inside his raincoat as the next wave approached. He imagined their voices telling him that they were proud of him, and it filled him with a strength that he hadn’t felt at other times during this journey. In the morning, the storm would die down, and he would enjoy the quiet. In the morning, he would call his daughter and tell her about the big storm and hear the wonder in her voice as he described the size of each wave. But for now, he was a man on a mission; he took a deep breath and held onto the steering wheel with every bit of his strength.

“Let’s go,” he thought as the biggest wave of all crashed into the boat.

adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela
Everything was still swathed in shadows as Demetrio
Macias began his descent to the bottom of the ravine.
Between rocks striped with huge eroded cracks, and a
squarely cut wall, with the river flowing below, a narrow
ledge along the steep incline served as a mountain trail.
"They'll surely find me now," he mused. "It's a good
thing they know nothing about the trails and paths up
here..... But if they got someone from Moyahua to guide
them..." He left the thought unfinished. "All the men
from Limon or Santa Rosa or the other nearby ranches
are on our side: they wouldn't try to trail us. That cacique
who's chased and run me ragged over these hills, is at
Mohayua now; he'd give his eyeteeth to capture me."
At dawn, he approached the pit of the canyon. Here, he
lay on the rocks and fell asleep.
