Well, he's not a Seeing Eye dog, because he came from a different school. 
(The Seeing Eye is only the first guide dog school in America, and they 
protect their brand name very well)

He's only six, so he is too young to drive, and he's too small to saddle. 
But that does remind me of the guide miniature horses people sometimes use.

As to money, Braille isn't a good option because it's going out of favor. I 
can't read it at all myself -- too many years playing congas killed my 
pressure sensitivity on my fingertips. Different sized money would be the 
best option, though since I organize well that doesn't really pose too much 
problem.

And this little problem is also why I can't use the Braille menus some 
restaurants have, either.
