I can’t imagine how tough it must be to live your life in darkness, but having a furry friend to guide you through it must make it that much more enjoyable. While the rest of us have to leave our pets at home, these clever critters get to come to work and ride the bus!

While most blind people have a guide dog, Mona Ramouni’s trying something a little different. She’s got a guide pony.

As a Muslim, Mona believes dogs are unclean so she had to opt for the tiny horse instead. Anyone who’s ever longed for a pony as a child probably agrees with me: she got a really good deal!
