...to her job with her guide horse, Cali, in Lincoln Park, Mich. Ramouni lost her sight soon after birth, but she can't use a guide dog. Many Muslims consider dogs unclean, and Ramouni respects her parents' aversion to having one in their home. The solution, she hopes, is Cali, a miniature horse who stands 30 inches tall and is being trained to help Ramouni through her daily routine."

Seriously cool! :-) While I love dogs, I understand that other cultures view them differently. This is a creative and functional way to give this woman a great deal more independence and a new friend. I just hope that the U.S. Congress doesn't ban animals other than dogs and other common household pets as service animals for the disabled this year, as I hear they are considering. :/ They need to hear this story first, and then somebody needs to explain to them that laws limiting people's freedom are generally and presumptively a BAD idea.
