About Seeing-Eye Dogs

Chizuru Kurono from Japan

Seeing eye dogs are the eyes of blind people. They are gentle, intelligent and kind. To be seeing-eye-dogs, they have to train from the time they are puppies.

And before they go to live with blind persons, they are trained for at least a month with them.

It is very difficult to train seeing-eye dogs, because they must be good.

Many blind people want to get seeing-eye-dogs, but the demand for them is greater than the supply.

Seeing-eye dogs must keep their masters safe. It is more important for seeing-eye-dogs to work than to play.
