Canines assisting blind
Guide dogs are dogs trained to assist blind or visually impaired people in navigating their surroundings.
They learn to lead their handler around obstacles, stop at curbs and steps, and judge heights and widths.
Guide dogs wear a specialized harness with a rigid handle, distinguishing them from other service animals.
