In recent days, Jiri has seen on Weibo that Guangzhou's first guide dogs have graduated! To come to us, blind friends register their applications through the Guangdong Province Blind Association or through the Saibing Doo Service Development Centre in Guangzhou City.
For the first time in Guangzhou, the guide dog was supposed to be the last scene that really touched many people...
However, for many of the Guangzhou neighbourhoods, guide dogs are still unknown. It feels like they're far away from us... because there was only one guide dog in Guangdong...
In our constant impression, if a dog is the best friend of mankind; then a guide dog is a brave and responsible champion; even the eyes of a lot of small partners with visual impairment!
There are six guide dogs. They are all professionally trained. Each guide dog has to undergo long training at a cost of over 100,000, but there are about 750,000 blind people in Guangdong, and there is a huge imbalance in supply and demand...
Before that, only Guangdong had a guide dog. Indeed, in addition to the time and economic costs of impeding the spread of guide dogs, the lack of understanding in your neighbourhood is one of the main factors.
People are afraid of the big animals themselves, and they have to go to a narrow public space like subway bus, especially old people or mothers with children, with some resistance...
It's been done in Guangdong before, but fortunately, the end results are good, and the most important thing now is your opinion, are you willing to bring these angels to your side?
