> KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- A blind man was reunited with his seeing eye dog in
> Osceola County Friday night.
>
> The black lab named Devon ran away from his owner, Jeff Bazer, Tuesday
> night during the storms.
>
> WFTV first aired Bazer's story Thursday. He has been blind his entire life
> and said he always knew someone would find his service dog.
>
> "I tried to keep hope the whole time. I knew we would get more information
> and that we would find him," Bazer told WFTV.
>
> Friday, Kissimmee police went door to door looking for Devon. That night,
> Bazer's hopes came true.
>
> "We got a call from police saying that he had been found," Bazer said.
> "And I was just elated. I absolutely could not believe it"
>
> Bazer and his dog had been in Orlando from South Carolina for a
> convention. He works for a company that develops computer software for the
> vision impaired. Bazer's company put him up for the week in a rental home
> in Kissimmee.
>
> Tuesday night, during the violent storms, Devon got out. Bazer, his
> coworkers and police had been looking for the dog ever since.
>
> Friday, a British couple on vacation called police. They had found Devon
> in a nearby neighborhood.
>
> "They got him on Tuesday night during the storm," Bazer said. "They said
> there's no way we can have the dog outside in this rain and how the storms
> were. They had been looking out for him for three days."
>
> Bazer said he is grateful to everyone who helped search for Devon.
>
> "I can't thank everybody enough who was involved. Of course, Channel 9 and
> everybody else who said prayers."
>
> Devon has been Bazer's guide dog for the past eight years. Training for
> service dogs can cost around $40,000.

> Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to
