A guide dog for the blind that was recently matched with its handler disappeared shortly after going into service.
Brinkley, a yellow Labrador retriever that was trained through Leader Dogs for the Blind, ran off after getting scared by a lawn mower that hit her tie-down, according to WJRT. Brinkley started working 10 days earlier.
Jackie McKeon recently finished a 26-day training with Brinkley before taking her home.
