Original Toronto Star caption: Getting to know you: Jo-Anne Balsom; 24; has been blind since birth but now has a four-legged friend to help her find way. Miss Balsom; of Farnham Ave.; has been training with Jem; a Labrador; for four weeks and already is walking with confidence. I feel protected; freer; easier . . . it's independence I've never had.
