She completely relies on her guide dog, Eagle for assistance. "I think it's great these animals are being represented because they have a very special job to do," says Ms. Davidson.

And, that's exactly the reason behind the event. Stacee Daniel, executive director of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) says, "If we can assist more dogs, then the dogs can better assist people."

ScarArt Business Launched to Creatively Camouflage Abdominal Scars
ScarArt, an innovative new company specializing in adhesive products used to conceal abdominal scars, recently announced the launch of its abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and cesarean section (C-section) temporary tattoos.
This unique product emerged out of frustration with traditional scar solutions for women. ScarArt was designed by a woman for women. This temporary tattoo stays in place for up to three days; even in the harshest of environments involving sun, sand, and water exposure.
Until ScarArt, women with abdominal scars had few realistic options. While traditional cream-type products help to diminish a scar's appearance, the scar is always visible. The only other option was a permanent tattoo to disguise the scar. While permanent tattooing has gained popularity, for many women the pain, lengthy process, and the disfiguration only add to the problem. ScarArt is the first realistic product on the market that offers women a temporary solution in the form of an adhesive accessory that looks great and stays in place.
