Can we see more about Shea and her dog? Her story is amazing on so many levels. I was mesmerized by her insightful and inspiring nature. And I wanted to know more about her dog and see what their day is like. Shea has so much to teach us just by being herself. As a parent, I also would love to see how Shea''s mother has faced her challenges -- she clearly has stepped up to the plate! Beautiful! Thank you for the positve modeling for facing adversity; we need it these days! (P.S. Next time, please put Shea front and center rather than hidden behind the arm of the sofa.)

I loved your feature of Shea and Mercer. I did a service dog presentation at an elementary school today and mentioned Shea and her book. All the kids said they would like to see it in their library. It would be great to see more publicity about this.

I loved this feature about Shea and her Canine Companion. I did a service dog presentation at an elementary school today and mentioned her book. All the kids said it needs to be in their library. I would love to see more publicity about Shea and her wonderful life partner.

thank you for such a positive story. If Mercer is the star of Shea''s life I need to know more. This compelling young woman clearly draws strength from her family and her dog. Please, more insight on both.

A great story about an incredible young lady. She is more confident and at ease than most adults would be on camera. Wow!

How wonderful see see Shea and Mercer on CBS Nightly News. I hope to see more about Canine Companions on CBS and how these special service dogs help children and adults with disabilities. I know the March 13 spot will help to educate the public on how important service dogs are in the life of a disabled person. And if CBS could do a more in depth reporting on CCI, that would be wonderful.

Awesome story... Another great team matched by Canine Companions for Independence! I can so relate to Shea. I have Anna, a service dog trained by CCI, and Anna has changed my life so much and has enhanced by independence. Shea and Mercer are going to educate a lot of people! You go girl!
