It's not time to hit "paws" yet. See what I did there?
No es hora de golpear patas todavía ¿Ven lo que hice?
A dog joke. [swoosh / music plays]
Un chiste de perros. [silbido / música]
This question comes up more often than you think.
Esta pregunta me la hacen más de lo que creen.
"Hey Tommy, how come you don't use a guide dog?" Well, to be quite
«Oye Tommy, ¿cómo es que no usas en perro guía?» Bueno, para ser
honest my situation doesn't call for it. I walk around with a cane.
honesto, mi situación no lo requiere. Camino con un bastón
I'm a cane traveler. I've been using it for a long time.
Soy un viajero de bastón. Lo he estado usando por mucho tiempo.
You've seen it in videos and stuff. I do very well with it.
Lo han visto en mis videos. Me va muy bien con él.
You know, I can get pretty much anywhere I need to with my cane. If I need to go
¿Saben?, puedo llegar a donde sea con mi bastón. Si necesito ir
some place really far, I can use Uber or Lyft or jump in a taxi.
a algún lugar muy lejos, puedo usar Uber o Lyft o usar un taxi.
I don't live in a giant city, right? So, I don't need a
No vivo en una ciudad enorme, ¿cierto? Por lo que no necesito
dog for that. I certainly don't need one in the house. I know
un perro para eso. De seguro no necesito uno en la casa. Sé como
my around my own home. It just doesn't fit into my life.
andar en mi propia casa. Simplemente no encajaría en mi vida.
It's not for me right now.
No es para mí, justo ahora.
Listen, this isn't to say I wouldn't get one. But for right now
Escuchen, no estoy diciendo que no podría tener uno. Pero justo ahora
I just don't need one. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with
no necesito uno. Hay mucha responsabilidad que viene con
having a guide dog. I mean, it's almost like having a child.
tener un perro guía. Digo, es casi como tener un niño.
Every day I've got to do stuff for the dog.
Cada día tendría que hacer cosas para el perro.
And I've got to be home to take care of the dog.
Y tendría que estar en casa para cuidar del perro.
It's also an added expense. It's a lot to do.
También es un gasto adicional. Es mucho que hacer.
I mean, a cane - I just fold it up put it away.
Digo, un bastón - simplemente lo dobló y lo guardo.
However, I have had dogs in the past.
Sin embargo, he tenido perros en el pasado.
I had two of them. One for each hand!
Tuve dos. ¡Uno para cada mano!
I'm just fooling you. No, I had two separate dogs
Estoy bromeando. No, tuve dos perros por separado
at different times. At that time I needed one
en épocas diferentes. En ese tiempo necesitaba uno
because where I was living it was a far walk to anywhere.
porque donde vivía todos los lugares quedaban muy lejos para ir caminando.
You know, it was a long walk into town. It was a long walk to the bus stop where I was
Ya saben, era una larga caminata al pueblo. Era una larga caminata a la parada del autobús que me llevaba a donde
going to go to work. Hell, I was walking on streets with no sidewalks.
iba a trabajar. Rayos, caminaba en calles sin aceras.
So the dog kept me pretty safe and it was really, really helpful.
Así que el perro me mantenía a salvo y era muy, muy útil.

My first dog was called "Ivan" and he was a German Shepherd.
Mi primer perro se llamaba «Ivan» y era un Pastor Alemán.
And he was young and you know what I was not a good
Y él era joven y deben saber que yo no era muy bueno
dog handler. He liked to jump and frighten people
manejando perros. Le gustaba saltar y asustar a la gente
and I wasn't correcting him fast enough
y no lo corregía lo suficientemente rápido
and it didn't work out with us. We were together for about six months
y no funcionó entre nosotros. Estuvimos juntos por cerca de seis meses
and that was it. So he went back and was re-placed
y eso fue todo. Así que él regresó y fue re-colocado
and a couple of months went by and I was given a new dog.
y pasaron un par de meses y me fue dado un nuevo perro.
Now this dog was called "Clancy" and he had been with somebody
Ahora, este perro se llamaba «Clancy» y ya había estado con alguien
before and we got along great. He was older so
antes y nos llevamos fantástico. Era más viejo, por lo que
he was a little bit more chill. And it really worked out
era un poco más tranquilo. Y realmente funcionó
nicely between us. And he was wonderful. He was a great, great dog.
entre nosotros. Y era estupendo. Era un gran, gran perro.
I had Clancy for probably 3-4 years.
Tuve a Clancy por 3-4 años, probablemente.
It was a good long time. He was probably about 5
Fue un buen tiempo. Él probablemente tenía cerca de 5 años
when I got him and then by the time he was 8 or 9 his
cuando lo tuve y para cuando tenía 8 o 9 su
hip dysplasia started to act up. He couldn't get on the bus anymore.
displasia de cadera empezó a mostrarse. Ya no podía subirse más al autobús.
He had difficulty coming up and downstairs and getting
Tenía dificultad subiendo y bajando las escaleras y subiéndose
into cars and so I took him to the vet one day and
a los carros, así que lo lleve al veterinario un día y
they told me, "yeah, he's got hip dysplasia and he can't work anymore."
me dijeron, «si, tiene displasia de cadera y no puede seguir trabajando».
Nice bedside manner. That freaked me out that day.
Buena manera de dormir . Eso me asusto ese día.
So, when it was time I just gave him back to the place where he came from
Así que era hora de regresarlo al lugar de donde vino
and they actually put him in a nursing home which is fun.
y de hecho lo pusieron en un asilo de ancianos, lo que es divertido.
Kind of a flat place with no real stairs and stuff.
Era un lugar plano sin escaleras reales y así.
And all these people in this nursing home had a pet.
Y todas las personas en el asilo tenían una mascota.
And a very well behaved pet.
Y una muy bien educada mascota.
[music plays]
[música]
Oh my god, having a guide was great. There was a lot of cool things about it.
Oh por dios, tener un perro guía es grandioso. Había muchas cosas grandiosas.
I mean, they're so well trained. They can do all kinds of things.
Digo, están tan bien entrenados. Pueden hacer todo tipo de cosas.
Like on a train platform for example, if I get a little confused
Como en una plataforma de tren, por ejemplo, si me confundo un poco
or whatever and started walking towards the edge of the platform...
o lo que sea y empezaba a caminar hacia la orilla de la plataforma...
the dog would literally stand between me and the edge of the platform
el perro literalmente se plantaba entre mi y la orilla de la plataforma
and not let me go forward. I'll never forget one time I was going to work...
y no me dejaba seguir. Nunca olvido una vez que iba al trabajo...
I got off the bus. And it was really noisy and I was
Me bajé del autobús. Y estaba muy ruidoso y estaba
in front of parking garage. And I asked him to go.
enfrente de un garaje. Y le pedí que avanzara.
And he wouldn't go. And then I heard a car come by.
Y él no avanzaba. Y entonces oí un coche que pasó.
And I was like, "Holy cow, you just saved my life, Clancy. Way to go, kid."
Y me quede, «caramba, acabas de salvar mi vida, Clancy. Bien hecho, chico».
He was also very helpful on walking. I mean, my cane
Era muy útil al caminar. Digo, mi bastón
does a good job on the ground, right? But if there's something low hanging
hace un buen trabajo en el suelo, ¿cierto? Pero si había algo colgando bajo
the dog would actually stop so I would have to reach around
el perro se detenía para que yo buscara
a little bit and reach up in front of me and see if there were trees
un poco y buscara enfrente de mí y viera si había obstáculos
and there were. And then I would touch the trees with my hand
y sí había. Y entonces tocaba los obstáculos con mi mano
and ask him to go ahead again and we would go.
y le pedía que siguiéramos y seguíamos.
You know what else he knew? Let's say you and me went somewhere
¿Saben qué más sabía? Digamos que tú y yo íbamos a algún lado
and we go in your car. The dog's right in your car and we go to the mall
e íbamos en tu coche. El perro estaba en tu coche y entrabamos al centro comercial
or whatever. And then we come back out and I can actually say
o lo que fuera. Y entonces regresábamos y yo de hecho le podía
to my dog, "Find the car." And he would find the car
decir a mi perro, «Encuentra el coche» .Y él podía encontrar el coche
that we were in before.
en el que habíamos estado antes.
[music plays]
[música]
So, it was a lot of fun but there was a lot of responsibility that comes
Así que era muy divertido, pero había mucha responsabilidad que viene
with a dog. I mean, one of things I had to do was
con el perro. Digo, una de las cosas que tenía que hacer era
pick up after him. And people go, "how the heck did you do that?"
recoger sus heces. Y la gente dice, «¿cómo diantres lo hacías»
I could take him outside for example and say to him, "Get busy."
Por ejemplo, podía llevarlo fuera y decirle, «Ocúpate».
And that would mean it was time for him to do his thing. And he'd start
Y eso significaba que era hora de que él hiciera sus cosas. Y empezaba
to sniff and go back and forth and back and forth.
a olfatear e ir de acá para allá y de allá para acá.
And I'd put my foot right next to his leg and then when he'd move
Y ponía mi pie justo junto a su pata y entonces cuando se movía
I could just reach down with a plastic bag
podía agacharme con la bolsa de plástico
and just pick it up and flip the bag inside out and throw it in the garbage.
y recoger las heces y voltear la bolsa y tirarla a la basura.
And people say, "why did you ever pick that stuff up?" Well, here's the simple
Y las personas dicen, «¿y por qué recogías eso?» Bueno, aquí está una respuesta
answer.. I didn't want to step in it. I can't see where
simple... No quería pisarla. No puedo ver donde
it is so if I don't pick it up, I'm going to be wearing it.
está, por lo que si no la recojo, la voy a estar llevando conmigo.
[music plays]
[música]
The other things I used to do with him as well. People would always say, "Does your dog bite?"
Las otras cosas que solía hacer con él también. Las personas siempre decían, «¿Muerde tu perro?»
And I'd always say, "Sure." What I mean is
Y yo siempre decía, «Claro». A lo que me refería
his food. [laughs]
es a su comida. [risas]
I don't know whether he'd bite your not, but
No sé si te mordería o no, pero
I gave you a vague answer that way you won't try him.
te dí respuesta vaga de modo que ni lo intentarías.
[beep] I think we've come to the "tail" of this video.
[pitido] Creo que hemos llegado a la «cola» de este video.
