Testimonials

Témoignage Chien-guide
Thanks to the Mira Foundation, moving around has become smooth and natural again. But more importantly, my life has regained its color. This dog is not just a guide, he is my everyday companion, the one who allows me to move forward with confidence and dignity. I am deeply grateful for this new freedom.

Guide-dog program beneficiary
Témoignage chien d'assistance à la mobilité
My dog has given me so much more confidence. I’m less shy now, and having him by my side helps me forget about my condition—or at least accept it more and worry less about the future. It’s hard to imagine where I would be today if I hadn’t crossed paths with the foundation when I did. One thing is certain: life is so much happier with a dog.
Camille Trudel
Mobility service dog beneficiary
Témoignage TSA
To me, my Mira dog is so much more than just a dog, he’s the one who saved my life. He has helped me grow and shown me that the world isn’t as frightening as it sometimes seems. I no longer face my challenges alone, but with my most loyal friend by my side. He is the source of my happiness and my successes.
