This is a picture of Mississippi ‘Sippi’, my first Leader Dog.  He was issued to me on November 3, 1994; and died on January 21, 2002 of lymphoma at nine and a half.  He was an awesome dog!  I believe he is reincarnated in Wil’s current Leader Dog, Max.  They look alot alike in that they have very similar personalities, are very strong (physically and in will power), stubborn,and very loving.  If Max is not Sippi’s reincarnation, then he sure channels Sippi’s spirit often.  He has been gone for seven years; but is never far from my heart.
