What is a guide dog? What are they used for? The world has a class of working dogs that guide visually impaired people through specific breeding programs and professional training. They are gentle, stable, intelligent, non-aggressive, obedient, and love living with humans. They replace the eyes of the visually impaired and safely guide them to their destinations, making them the most caring family members and soul mates in their owners’ hearts. Many people call them “Guide Dogs”. The names “Seeing Eye Dog” and “Leader Dog” also stand for “Guide Dog”. When a visually impaired person chooses to use a guide dog, he or she cane or cane, and needs to carefully and slowly detect and judge the road. When a visually impaired person chooses to use a guide dog and establishes a good understanding with the guide dog, the guide dog not only provides faster guidance, but also increases the speed at which the visually impaired person can avoid obstacles and find a spot during walking. Guide dogs are professionally trained to quickly and accurately guide visually impaired persons to avoid obstacles and find a fixed point or target, reducing the chance of accidents and increasing safety while walking. With good coordination, the visually impaired person and the guide dog can move freely without stumbling or being obstructed by obstacles. Guide dogs can handle different road situations more safely and flexibly than canes/sticks. In addition to providing mobility assistance, guide dogs also provide emotional support and comfort, serving as family members and companions for the visually impaired. Many visually impaired people report that they are more willing to reach out or offer assistance after using a guide dog, thus making more friends and expanding their lives. 6. Increased independence, confidence, and dignity for the visually impaired Because guide dogs increase the confidence and ability of the visually impaired to get around, the visually impaired no longer have to rely on family members or friends, and therefore have increased employment opportunities. Therefore, in addition to increasing the independence and self-confidence of the visually impaired, guide dogs also give them more dignity in their lives.
