Labrador Retriever Guide Dogs

Labrador Retriever Blog | August 20th, 2008

Guide DogsI 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.

The labrador retriever was bred and trained by the Foundation of the Blind Guide Dog Services. Nadia says Spirit goes everywhere with her.
