Guide Dogs are animals specially trained to help blind people. They guide their owners to get around safely, making their life easier, avoiding obstacles, helping them travelling by bus, by aeroplane, by train, and also in other activities like going shopping or working.
The specific training of guide dogs was originated in Germany during World War I to aid blinded veterans.
Most of guide dogs are Labradors and German Shepherds because of their calm temperament, intelligence, loyalty, natural desire to be helpful, and good constitutions. They also must be able to ignore all distractions while doing their work.
Dog and owner are partners. The dog shows the way to follow, but the owner gives commands and decides when and how. Because of it, blind people can feel free and confident.
Thanks to guide dogs, blind people can get independence and a higher quality of life.
Don’t you think that these dogs are fantastic?
