I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕
Would you feel weird bringing your dog to the bathroom with you?
Molly Burke why do guide dogs walk on the left
Hope everyone on here has a BLESSED day today and always! God Bless You 💖🙏🏼✨
Smalll UA-camr here ❤️
No honestly I feel like its a normal thing and mostly for people who need guide dogs/Service dogs and or animals
No I used to take mine to the bathroom
No. The dog doesn't have a camera on it. I wouldn't feel weird
9:13 “Head of security and director of cuteness” the best quote.
That is brilliant
can confirm it's accurate. similar title was given to my daughter's assistance dog (also from the MIRA foundation): Ambassador of Cuteness. The fact that they breed their dogs and select them for both their attitude and their general physical health leads to quite beautiful animals. i half-jokingly say that biggest problem we have in public is people who want to pet the dog. can totally relate to Molly and Gallop here.
Best title ever. 😊
and at that precise moment I came down to look at the comments 😁
Super cute merch material. Make it happen, Molly.
Molly's french is very good, but pay attention is actually "Fais attention", directly translating to "Make attention" because the verb "payes" or "to pay" is only used in the literal context of money. I know no one asked and no one cares, but I find it interesting so maybe someone else will too.
Molly you are so inspirational. I have a labrador service dog in training here in Australia. One day I want to meet you and Gallop with my sevice dog Scout ❤❤ Love you guys!
Your hair is fab it's so vivid. You're so wholesome! I can't believe someone would kick you out of a Facebook group! You should start your own, if you need help adminning it I'm super available.
Molly: Hey! WELCOME TO THE BATHROOM and they're like whaaaaaaa
me: *immediately replays a few times and likes video*
Have you considered getting a handkerchief or something you can attach to the harness that says either working dog, or do not pet, or another warning like that so that there is no excuse for anyone to not know? Much love to you and Gallop!
Molly I was wondering - do you feel offended OR glad if a sighted person offers to help you with something? Also- where did you get your cute necklaces that you wear? So cute!!
Another question I'm thinking about. Does a service dog has to be neutered/spayed? So she/he doesn't get distracted when in heat or if male by a female in heat?
Hi I’m Olivia and I’m so inspired by you
Little tmi but I need to ask when using the bathroom if you’re by yourself do you bring gallop with you? I am hopefully getting a guide dog and I go by myself a lot places I will bring my GDB but I don’t really want too.
My dog loves cheese so much
A little bit but my dog does it so I’m kinda used to it
When I was like 7 I didn't know better and asked my mom outloud about a dog in a store where it should not have been. The owner got mad and said something... it was a game guide dog though
Who's this girl that's always appearing on Gallop's channel?
Love her hair though! They should collab more often
🤣🤣
I love this 😂
Huntracony, she is a servant of Gallop, she mainly bring him food. :)
Huntracony lol love this
I love your content. I watch you for you. Gallop is a bonus.
Same
I watch for Gallop ,, you Molly is just a bonus ;=)
The best bonus
Video idea! As a PSA, you should do a video where you wear a gopro and film a day when you're out and about in public and show how many times people try to touch/distract Gallop. There's a video someone did where a female wore a camera and walked around a busy city and counted the number of times she was catcalled to show how scary/uncomfortable it can be to be a woman alone in public. This video could be similar where it shows how frustrating it can be to be an independent blind person in public. I think it would be a great visual to show those who are ignorant to guide dog 'etiquette' and may be helpful to both the blind and sighted communities! Just a thought. :)
Sabrina Parker Great Idea!
Great idea i would love to see that video
Love this video idea 💡 🐕
Good idea!!
Honestly this would be a great idea!
Man when you said that you use Gallop for physical security, that hit right in my soul. I have a 90+lb Malamute/Australian Shepherd/Husky dog, who looks practically like a wolf (No wolf in him, but he looks the part). He's a huge love bug but the main reason I got him is so I have a dog to take with me on my walks. Even as a sighted, 5'3" woman, I've been harassed and even stalked on my walks without my dog--especially in the nearby park I frequent. In fact I actually no longer go walking in the park without my dog--if he's on a play date or something, I only walk around my neighborhood. He actually knows when I'm feeling unsafe too, because he'll hug his body to me if I'm walking in an area I'm uncomfortable in.
I'm glad that your big boy is able to spook off creepers: it sucks that this has to be a part of a woman/femme's life, though.
Omg that is a mix of all my favourite dogs
That’s how I feel with my dog. He once protected me from a cougar I didn’t know was stalking us on one of our walks. He put himself between me and the forest and kept pushing me away. And when the local idiots come around,he’s always right there. He wraps hims body around my legs. If they come to close,he growls. The one and ONLY time Buddy growls lol. He’s a lazy old man😂
I'm loving your vibrant purple hair!! ♥️♥️It looks great!!
it looks SO soft!
REEEEE I know!~ ^^
YESSSS
Lol consider this my like, there's exactly 500 and my OCD can't handle that 😂
I hate when people distract Service animals like that they don't know what they could do to the person they could hurt someone by distracting them😐
Trust me, I couldn't agree more.
Exactly! They could hurt the person and the animal. If someone distracts Gallop while Molly's trying to cross the road, he could not notice a car and both of them could be killed. Service dogs (normally) get so much love and affection when they aren't working, we don't need to give it to them while they are working.
@@katie6384 This!
Where i live, ive never seen anyone disturb a guide dog.
@@bbghoul_x Do you have a guide dog?
PLEASE make a video on fake service dogs. I honestly can never tell the difference.
Curlsunleashed I do not know a lot, but here some tips:
- A dog with bad behaviours is less likely to be a service dog.
- As far as I know, no service dog in Canada and the United States requires a vest, do a dog with a vest is less likely to be a service dog.
- Service dogs are highly trained. A dog with high obedience are more likely to be service dogs.
- Some service dogs, like the ones for blind people, have a specific harness. The metal handle is, as far as I know, standard here for blind guiding dogs.
Edit: as others said in this thread, real legitimate service dog vests are more common than I was lead to believe. My knowledge was flawed. The vest is no indicator of true or fake service dog.
just because a service dog is wearing a vest does NOT mean it is fake, i have a service dog and i can say that if she did not have a vest that says "service dog, do not pet" MANY people would come up to her daily and try to pet her, without the vest many people don't realize she's a working a dog and try to pet her and distract her. they do that with the vest sometimes but all i have to do is point at her vest and say "please don't distract my dog, she's working." and most of the time they're respectful. while vests are not required in the united states, they're appreciated because without them people can argue saying they didn't know they weren't suppose to pet the dog
@@thalia9808, thank you for the clarification. I mentioned the vest because some websites sell "service dog" vests to anyone so they can bring their pets everywhere. Some blind people said in videos that they were pissed about those vests that help to pass pets as service dogs.
Like I said, they are not hard facts, only signs to help figuring out if a dog is a service dog or a pet.
Ghyslain Abel of course, i just am helping clarify that not all service dogs don't wear vests, most do. but from the other stuff you were saying is a good way to detect a fake service dog. they'll bark, be impatient, come up to you sniffing you, or be a puppy (service dog training takes a long time and puppys/newborns can not be service dogs until they're older yet people still take their puppies with them to stores and everywhere)
@@thalia9808, I am surprised that most service dogs have a vest, but since I only have anecdotal evidences, I will take your word on that. The only picture I saw of a service dog with a vest is a pair of customs dogs www.demotivation.us/customs-1275978.html .
Of course, the proportion of service dogs with a vest probably changes from country to country.
I was walking with some friends once and we saw a guid dog and one of them walked up to pet it and me and my other friend dragged her away because we both love your vids and explained to her why.
You done good :)
It's really sad schools don't teach those things. So much wasted time...
Molly: Peanut butter
Gallop: NOPE IM WORKING
Molly: Bananas
Gallop: Meh i want it but im working
Molly: Kibble/Dog food
Gallop: No mom quit it im working
Molly: Cheese
Gallop: DIDJOOSAYCHEEZEINEEDCHEEZENOWPLEEZ!!!
My service dog is like this but it's with bananas. That's his favorite snack and the only thing that will distract him. He starts drooling uncontrollably!
@@samanthasteffanelli They say you are what you eat...
@@limiv5272 then i am an innocent man
@@imnotarobotiswearijustwann1869 Are you suggesting you eat innocent men?
@@limiv5272 jk
Can you "feel" when people are staring at you?
Sometimes! Especially if it's someone I'm close to! It's like a weird energy thing. I ALWAYS know when my mom is looking at me, even when she's really far away. And I always know when she walks into a room, it's weird!!
@@MollyBurkeOfficial - that's so cool!
A teacher told me there's a scientific reason behind it. It's the reason why people can tell someone's looking at them even when they have their back turned. I'm not too sure, but it's Infra Rays that hit and cause heat triggered stimulus.
Wajeeha Hasnain wow that’s interesting
@@galacticbattles17 I read about a study where they tested people for this feeling. And the result was that people just believe that they can feel people looking at them because they get confirmed when they look up and see someone looking back at them. But during the tests they failed to tell when people were looking at them or they would wrongly assume it half of the time. So it's just coincidence. With Molly, I believe it's a bit different because here senses are trained in a unique way.
hi Molly! how do you deal with fans/subscribers coming up to you? are you ever annoyed or worried that they might distract Gallop? and if a subscriber were to see you in public, should they approach you?
I believe she has said in past videos to simply call for her. She doesn't mind meeting fan just be respectful when doing so. Saying things like "hi Molly" is enough.
You would think UA-cam would disable comments because Gallop is under 13 years old
Watch out! They are watching....
If human years are converted to dog years, he's middle aged; so, maybe that doesn't count toward's youtube's "under 13" rule.
I hope I can explain myself: you've travelled abroad quite a few times with your guide dog. Has Gallop ever had problems adjusting to traffic coming from the 'wrong' side of the road or stuff like that?. I have 0 sense of direction and my sister is the opposite, but there have been times when she's had trouble getting around, finding which direction the address we were looking for was or interpreting different road signs or etiquette when it comes to cars letting you cross before they do., etc.
And what about jet lag?
I'm not sure about every situation, but for intersections where traffic lights are present, it is the handler who listens for traffic. The dog only has to bring them to the edge of the curb.
Anyone else just click the video notification that you get when Molly posts a new video even though you didn’t read the title?
My life 🤣
Me. Early squad
yep
Yup
I feel like this comment is on everybody's video u a bot?
Citrine42 no, I’m not, I’m a person
"The thing that distracts Gallop the most is cheese."
I'm Gallop. Gallop is me.
same
Same
Molly really needs a podcast like if u agree
I want your wall of plushies😍😂
i showed a video of hers to my friend and all she said was, wow thats a lot of stuffed animals i saw like 6 pandas
Did the dog ever made a mistake.
In my opinion its really weird that people ask to pet your dog or pet your dog even without asking especially a guide/service dog. I live in Belgium and the only times someone asked to pet my dog is if they also have a dog and the dogs are both interacting with each other. It has never happened that a random stranger would ask to pet my dog, which is great since she is afraid of strangers (we adopted her and she was abused before). I dont know it just seems odd to me, you never know if a dog is afraid, people aggressive, ...
Same for me in Germany.
I don't have a dog but I took care for my grandpartens dog for a long time and it was the same for me in Germany too. Very rarely small children wanted to pet the dog but they've allways asked me or their parents if they were allowed to pet her. But I've never had other strangers ask me or just pet her without asking.
@@regenbogentraumerin haha just today it happened that a little kid also asked me. Yeah it just seems dangerous and odd that in america someone tries to pet your dog without asking.
Many people were not taught to ask first, unfortunately. I also think it might be "instinctive" or habit to reach out and pet. I've actually caught myself going to pet a dog near me and then thinking, "What am I doing?! I know better!"
I‘m also from Germany and the only dogs I ask to pet if they come up to me or if they are with people I know (just met someone a couple of days ago who was dog sitting so I was fine to ask him). Even then I don’t go for a pet but for a sniff of the hand, I grew up with dogs and would never just pet an unknown dog. 🙄 Admitted I don’t ask with our neighbours dog anymore but I’ve known her for years now.
Molly, have you seen the show In the Dark on Netflix? The main character is a young woman who has RP. It would be fun to hear your review. I just started it but I like it so far!
Are you worried about more people having electric cars because they're quiet?
I don't know about the US, but in the EU new electric vehicles actually need to mimic engine noise now for improved safety twitter.com/BlondeHistorian/status/1145384913140625424?s=09
I wish that were the case in Canada. Nearly got ran over because I was walking on the sidewalk by someone's residence and they didn't check to make sure no one was there before reversing. My dog nearly got hit.
I think blind people can still hear them fine, I’m sighted and still hear them, the wheels on the roads make so much noise still
Drivers should be paying attention. Most electric cars have a camera in the back so the driver really shouldn't have a blind spot. Even loud cars could be a problem since blind people don't know where they are coming from or where they're going, that's why every cross walk should have a beeping thing when the pedestrian can walk. Cars aren't the problem, maybe pollution wise they are but other than that it's always the drivers responsibility.
Bennie thats scary! and never occured to me before...
i was walking into a store and there was a big sign on the door saying that service dogs are welcome!! it made me so happy :)
I love when places have those signs!!
that's amazing! I hope you posted a pic online
I thought most stores had those-
Fluff Whiskers you’d be surprised
It’s against the law for any public place to not let your service dog in
I was showing my dad your channel and he said “oh she’s the girl from the dove commercial!” 😂
omg i got the dove commercial when I clicked on this vid!!!!
The commercial came on MTV so much one time I told my mom "How many times have we seen this ad?" and she said "More times than she's seen it."
love you molly and gallop!!! killer bee squad 🐝💜✨
I think it would be seriously cool to see a Vlog type of video of you hanging out with some of your other blind friends.i don’t know if you can but that would be cool
Was that kissy-sound-woman at that restaurant the same as in Drew Lynch‘s video from a while ago? 😂
Or the woman in the Verizon store!!!!!
That lipstick colour fits Molly SO perfectly
*you should do a video about how the dating world is different for a blind person rather than if you were sighted*
Lisette :D yes
I volunteer to be "the other person" in such a vid :)
I like how this comment has 69 likes
I love you so muchh you’re so stromg and just so so beautifull ❤️
Thanks, love!
Oh my gosh. First time seeing the wall. First of all, amazing. My daughter said "i like it, i want that." :)
My husband and I are trying to get my an epilepsy support dog , so this video was really insightful, thank you ! Absolutely loving your hair 💜💜
Epileptic Emily I hope you get them soon!
Josie Rosenbalm thank you so much 💜💕
Epileptic Emily good luck getting your service dog! I’m trying to save up for one too! www.gofundme.com/f/servicedog-for-perrine if anyone could help, anything would be super helpful!
@@petrishalee2315 You do not need a special breed. Go to @chronicallyjaquie. She trained her own dog and had helped others. She did work with trainers, but then mostly worked with her on her own. Sadly, Jaquie died this year, but her videos are still on UA-cam.
You can train your own dog; which is cheaper. Check out @chronicallyjaquie
Weird! I always heard you say « en avant » (in front, like go straight forward) and not « on y va » (let’s go)
Also, I was so happy when you named St-Madelaine, I live like 15 minutes from there, and I would LOVE fostering for Mira some day!
Me too!
I've seen other service dogs with a vest that says Service dog: Please don't pet" or something similar that makes it very obvious to people to not engage. I wonder if there's a reason Molly doesn't use one? I feel that some people may not realize he is a service dog with the harness alone. I know I probably wouldn't immediately assume he was from the walking harness since I haven't seen service dogs with just that before.
The harness prevents him from wearing a vest, but they do make harness signs that say “Service Dog
Do not Pet”
Some schools provide a specific harness which the dog has been trained in and been used to - the dog has to recognise the feel of the harness going on in order to know when it is “on duty” so it may not be possible or permitted by the school for Molly to replace the harness. It may also be a harness which she likes the feel of which is important since she has to hold it for a long time every day and she is far more in touch with her sense of touch than other people.
As a service dog handler i can tell you that having a patch that says DO NOT PET does little to dissuade dumb people and even those who do know not to pet the dog or read the patch dont know not to distract the dog either. Its super annoying
Violet Vero, I am a Puppy Raiser for a large guide dog organization. Even with the words, " do not pet, etc." people still do. It is bold, but they do. Sad, yes.
Most people that have a vest on their dog that says service dog it usually means that dog is a fake service dog.
How do you know where to put your finger to read Braille?? (Like on a bathroom sign) I’ve always been curious about this because I feel like it’s such a small spot to locate that I dont understand how people use it
Or how does she know which general direction the bathroom is in?
Maybe she can hear where people are walking in and out of the bathroom? Then she would know to check next to the doorway at least.
When she mentioned toilets it made me think of the ones that have no door and are just signs on the wall and you have to walk through a small corridor left or right depending on which gender you're looking for. That must be impossible to find the signs
Hey Molly, I have a tough question! I recently saw a guide dog user walking with his dog on an insanely hot day it was probably 37° C and the sun was just beating down. The owner was trying to give commands to the dog and you could visibly see the dog was panting and struggling in the heat even to the point of seeming confused and not walking straight. I really wanted to stop and offer him water and suggest he let the dog sit in the shade for a moment. I decided against it as I was a tourist who didn’t speak the language (French) and didn’t want to risk offending the man especially since I was alone. I’d also assumed the man would’ve been able to sense the dog struggling too? Can you tell me what you think of this situation? My heart just broke seeing the dog struggle in the heat.
TBH I wouldn't have an idea what do do at the time but like if it was a guide dog user they probably knew thay were close to home or somewhere to stop off
STOP BOTHERING SERVICE DOOOOOGS....ive seen people just walk up to service dogs and pet them. cant imagine how annoying that is to you molly . its like people just cant control themselves
I love your hair!!♡♡💜💜
Always *LOVE* videos about gallop and from molly so this is just fab to end my day (Joy's of the UK time zone)! Side note where is your top from molly it's so pretty xo
jamie close I’m living in the Netherlands so I’m totally feeling you
when you talked about going the bathroom with Gallop it remind me of the time you went to the spa and the didn't want to allow Gallop in the spa because Gallop was a male dog XD XD
I find it weird that you don’t have a jacket for him that says “guide dog” in Australia we have jackets and colours for dogs in training and dogs working so everyone knows to “ignore” them
Hey Molly you are awesome and so is your book!
To be fair to people, your dog doesn't look like a working dog, he just looks like you have him on a fancy leash. In UK and Ireland, I think it's pretty good practice that every service dog wears a neon vest. It's just going to continue to happen regularly otherwise and people aren't going to realise.
He can’t wear a neon vest with the guide dog harness. He could wear a bandana, but people would have a hard time seeing it like the leash.
I’m not sure if the harness has patches or not
Thank you for that Molly. very interesting. They were questions different to other Guide Dog Q and A's I have seen, so was brilliant. The not walking on the left was a good point too. Im on the waiting list for my first guide dog - so, this is brilliant learning - thank you
Have you gotten a dog yet?
Yes service dogs have intelligent disobedience but they're also like young children. They can't watch traffic and determine when it's safe for you to cross, they can only really tell if a car is already very close to you or traffic is going across the path you want to cross.

“What did you pee in that thing? There was perfectly good tree outside mom” -Gallop
The 8 dislikes are the people that kicked you out of the group 😅
Love you Molly
I love how your always explaining to us how it is for you. And how you do what you do on a daily. You're my role model. You don't let anything bring you down your living life to the fullest.
I love you Molly! Keep doing what you do best! I hope you have a great life with your cute little doggo
I'm so sorry about what happened to you on facebook. I'm also a guide dog handler and am pretty sure I know which group it was and you're right. They can be a major source of support when they want to be, but honestly if it's the group I think it is, it's been getting more toxic and dramatic lately which is such a shame. My goofy little lab and I would love to be pals with you and Gallup!
This is probably a stupid question and I'm sure you've already thought of it but cant you buy like a coat or a harness for gallop that says guide dog on it? Or service dog or something like that? I'm sure I've seen dogs in the uk wearing a similar thing
The sad thing is, that wouldn't stop some people from trying to pet him, or from making rude comments. Wish people could respect that working dogs are trained to do a job, and aren't a pet out and about to keep their human company.
Guide dogs in the uk are all trained by one uk wide charity which provides all the dogs with matching training vests and harnesses - in different countries because they are bigger there are multiple organisations that train guide dogs and they provide different harnesses and harnesses can also be purchased, but because they are all different there is not one universally recognisable harness that all guide dogs have in that country. Unfortunately because of the multiple harness styles and colours and the availability of them for family dogs who are not working, they have become less effective in making service dogs recognisable outside the uk.
Some guide dogs have to use a certain harness, the one they were trained in, and those vests or signs often don't fit over their harness. And unfortunately the signs don't always deter people.
Sadly, even if service dogs were wearing vests with neon flashing "Do Not Disturb", it would not help. grrrr
Head of Security, Director of CUTENESS = GALLOP!
Your hair colour is the BEST~ We love you so much and your dog of course!! 😊😊 keep going siss~~ ●ㅅ● ^^
I went back to school this week and have been having a pretty rough time. Your vids always make me smile, thanks so much! Love you molly, hi to gallop, what a good floofy boy💖🐶
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! School was always really difficult for me too.
Omg what if a tesla is driving?? Can you still hear them!??
I would go to Mira if they took US students. Unfortunately they do not. Now I know why you are no longer in The guide dog handlers network group. That really upsets me a lot.
Weird question:
If you somehow end up in prison, can Gallop go with you? Or is that not allowed in prison. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and i wonder if you know!
LIKE SO MOLLY CAN SEE💗 love u lots
José van Dijk omg i never thought of that
Weird question, but I wonder what kind of crime could a blind person do that would get them in prison? For most crimes, you need sight to accomplish them or even want to do them IMO. Would have to be something like tax evasion I guess. And you don't end up in maximum security prison for that.
Guide dogs are some of the best creatures on the planet.
I was so happy to hear that your parents plan on having gallop when he retires because honestly it’s been playing on my mind ever since i found your channel!
I never thought about this but Molly’s never seen Gallop’s adorable lil face 🤔😣
When I see a guide dog out in public, I know I can't pet them because they are working. But I'm such an animal lover..but I WILL RESPECT working dogs and their owners. All I can do is look at the precious doggies and tell the owners how cute they are! And that's enough for me. 🤗💖
Been there, (haven't) done that - meaning touch/pet the animal.
@@harveyabel1354 No I would never try to touch/pet the animal, I know better than that. I also won't make noises at the guide dogs as Molly described in the video when people make noises at Gallop to try to get his attention.
I actually didn’t know what a guide dog’s harness looked like, but ever since I learned from Molly’s other video I hope I can help others be able to recognize one in public
BIG QUESTION. lets say you are in an emergency situation lets say u have fallen and cant move. would gallop go get help? is there commands for this? Is there a command for someone you love to say "find Molly". I wouldn't say do a video of this cuz LAST THING WE WANT IS YOU HURT! but it be cool to know what u would do in something like this or even if something like this has crossed your mind as a cautionary measure!
Yay! I Love your videos and your channel :) :) :) could you maybe talk about your theatre experience in another video?
Thanks so much!!
Different guide dog schools, different rules. At the guide dog school I go to, they kind of pick a dog that has been raised in a home with other dogs or cats/animals! My pup was raised with ducks. But yeah different schools different rules. You do have to watch out that your dog does not pick up bad habits from other animals. Such as going trash diving, or eating out of the cat litter box. .
I love these q and a’s 😸
Yesterday I saw a girl with a guide dog that had a harness with a neon green sentence 'A GUIDE DOG DO NOT DISTRACT. ' I think this is a clever solution :)
You would think, but it still does little to dissuade people from petting them or trying to distract them. Drew Lynch (who Molly has collaborated with a couple of times) has a couple of videos where people try to distract his service dog even though she wears a bright purple vest that says "service dog do not pet".
@@Becca-96 really... People are so stupid
My friend’s assistance dog has patches that say don’t distract/touch etc as well as symbols of hands with lines across and people still try and pet him
Gallop be like who is this girl on my channel 😂😂😂😂😂
Molly, you should do a video with some of your blind friends or talk about being born blind vs gradually going blind!
That would help because my grandfather went blind 20 years ago I imagine it’s much different then going blind when young it think it’s why I can’t get my grandfather to watch your videos with me he’s a stubborn man..
Molly, I just watched the guide dog q and a and I was wondering are guide dogs allowed in schools and/ or doctors offices? If you could maybe make a video related to this question that might be fun and informative!!
Have a great week! Love from Massachusetts!!
13:41 Gallop 🐶 acting like "I don't know you, sorry" 😂
Hey, I have a question about different working dog capabilities. I have Dysautonomia and Ehlers Danlos syndrome which for me means frequent falls, fainting, rolling my ankles, pain etc.. I have been told by my PCP that a working dog may help with stability to keep me from falling. I know Gallop is a large dog but have you ever leaned your bodyweight on him for stability? I dont want to ask something more of a dog than they would be able to provide but I love the idea of being able to go on walks on my own (with a dog maybe) and be free. Do you have any experience using Gallop for stability or any other dog you've worked with? Thank you for your time.
I actually speak a bit of French, but I'm not completely fluent in the language. I learned French in middle school and I remember a little bit of it. I really like dogs and own a pet dog. I honestly wish I could take my dog with me everywhere, but I hate it when people fake service animals (so I'm not gonna do that). Oh and yes, I am subscribed for Gallop. I mean sometimes I'll watch your videos that don't have Gallop in them, but I'm usually here for Gallop. He's just so cute, and I like him.
No offense to you, Molly.
I feel like if I ever dated a blind woman, I would get along with her dog. It is definitely something that would make the dating dynamic different, but it's not something that would stop me from dating her. After all, I like dogs and am a dog person. I feel like animals have a real calming effect on people, which for me is a good thing. It's one of the reasons why I've always owned a pet, usually a dog.
Great video, keep up the good work. God bless.
Have a nice day/night.
I was walking on the street and I saw a fake guide dog. It was a chihuahua with an orange vest that said Service Dog but the man with the dog picked the chihuahua up and walked away. I know that he wasn’t disabled because he was pointing out objects and saying the color to his friend and his friend wasn’t being a sighted guide for him. That bull crap is so ridiculous.
You know they do sell orange harnesses for pet dogs. I’ve seen them in pets at home. Doesn’t mean fake assistance dog.
I love your channel Molly! This is random, but I'm from Minnesota, and I never really thought I had much of an accent until I started watching your videos, and how you say "soary" instead of "sorry" and I realized I do that too as a Northerner 😂😁
Omg you answered my question! I asked about the date!
I know it’s not anywhere near the same, but I was in Annie as a kid and I played Annie and the dog was really well trained but people would find her name in the program and call her going “Willow...come here willow!!” And make those kissy noises and she would sometimes get distracted while I was singing and it was the most obnoxious thing ever. I can’t imagine living like that all the time. Mad respect. P.S. Molly’s hair color is so pretty 💖
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast. Unless it’s H20 Delirous video, I’m all over it.
Delirious Army support molly!
My husband was scrolling through the accessibility settings on our TV and found the description part and saw you could set it really fast and he was like "wow how can people even understand this?!" And I thought of you!! I told him that many blind people like the description faster so they can scroll faster and they can understand it fine because they're used to it! Thanks for all the educating you do!
Nobody:
Molly: When you get their harnesses off they're like "let's sniff butts, man!"
Why doesnt Gallop wear a harness on which it clearly says 'Guide Dog'?. I am from the Netherlands and here actually all guide dogs for blind people have the words 'guide dog' on their harness clearly written, I think it is madeel by the organization that also trains most guide dogs. And basically everyone would recognize these harnasses and know that they're real and that are of course really needing him (even if you wouldn't 'look' particularly blind). I was actually a bit surprised that your guide dog doesn't have a clear sign on him making it clear he's a guide dog. Anyways, love your videos! greetings from NL
Hey person scrolling through the comments
U HAVE A GREAT DAY
Small UA-camr here ❤️🧡💛
Aurelie Grace you too!
People ask me a lot why I don’t pay for the paperwork to make my very normal dog considered a “service dog”. And I always say the same thing; I love my dog and would love to be able to bring him more places, but he isn’t a service dog. I feel like it’s disrespectful because I don’t actually have a disability that requires a service dog. I too am annoyed that fake service dogs are everywhere 😕
hey! does anyone know where these necklaces are from? i’ve seen molly wear them a lot!
helloooo
I think one was from an event. The other.. (smaller one) not sure..
Hi Molly, I just wanted to say that you really are helpful in my upcoming choice to obtain a guide dog! Much like you, I am a member of the blind community. For so long I have suffered from birth with ROP! I have had limited vision and it is getting worse! I'd like to consider you another blind friend because you inspire me so greatly and I have learned so much about guide dogs from you. I am facing an eye surgery that though it will help me in some ways it will rob me of a major part of my vision. I am afraid yet your uplifting and informative videos give me hope! I have been offered a guide dog from a friend who trains them, and you really helped me to decide if this choice is right for me, thank you so very much!
Yayyyyy Molly Posted💞
I have had to deal with some invisible handicap stuff. I had some bladder stuff going on where sometimes the handicapped toilet were used. You always feel bad comming out when you look «normal». But some people sometimes need the toilet «now», and then you use what you need, instead of standing in line and end up needing new clothes. So I hope that people sometimes can just remeber that some people have invisible things going on that make them need that special toilet
awww. I just set up notifications for your channel and it's so nice to see your smiling face show up in my notifications!
much love and big hugs to you, your amazing mom and the super furball! you are all so very special and I want so much hapiness for you. you are a bright shining star bringing so much light to all who watch you.
We definitely do have some weirdos in the community, especially in my section of it. Half of them don’t want to do anything with their lives except for complain, and ruin the fun for everybody else. And then the other half is split between people like you and me who like to educate, and pure laziness. I have gotten into my own blind friend group on UA-cam that I would really like you to check out we do mostly flight simming but we also play some other video games as well and I think you might find it interesting and we would love to have you onboard
Molly: "Answering questions I've never answered before"
Also Molly: "explains obedient disobedience for the millionth time" 😂
hahahaha I know!! Sorry! I do answer a ton of never answered before questions though!!
@@MollyBurkeOfficial Just finished it and it was a great video! Makes me wonder if you purposefully avoid dating guys who have pets.
