It sure is a neat experience having a guide dog, one thing that people don’t realize is that the relationship between the human and dog is both ways. In order for my dog to do her job, I have also do mine. They need lots of attention and play time. Also, they’ll do anything for food. Thats pretty much all they ask for.

Oh I agree so much! I have a 10yr black lab too, and my word, if there’s food about you just can’t get her eyes of it!

Very Interesting. If fascinates me how the dog takes on the responsibility of caring for a human. How they can overcome instinctive behaviour is amazing. For example chasing birds. I own a 9mth black lab who would drag me into a pond to have a swim. Labs have only one weak point ,greed when it come to food. Its hard when those big eyes are looking up at you.
Thank you for the video.
