Labrador Retriever Guide Dogs
I made the mistake many years ago of trying to pet a guide dog in training one day when I was out for a stroll. I was reminded by the handler that she was working. I felt terrible and will never make that mistake again. Every morning on my way to work I see a guide dog and his owner out for their morning walk and I thought it would be nice blog a bit about guide dogs.
Guide dogs can also be called assistance dogs or seeing eye dogs as they were called when I was growing up. Guide dogs are trained to help people who are blind or partially blind with their daily chores such as going to work or shopping.
I found a good article which explains the functions of the guide dogs a little more in depth. You can read more about Guide Dogs at the source.

Nothing you should feel bad about. Yes they are working but, let’s face it, even a working dog is cute and cries out for a pat on the head. I hope the dog’s trainer only offered you gentle advice and wasn’t needlessly rude about it.
