Guide dog

A guide dog is a very special dog who helps people who cannot see with their eyes or have difficulty seeing. This dog is trained to be a helper and a friend to their owner, who is also called a handler. A guide dog helps their handler move around in the world safely.

When a person meets a guide dog, the dog is not just a pet, but it has a special job. It is a helper to their owner who needs assistance with different things like crossing roads or finding things in their environment. The guide dog helps their handler stay safe while walking around outside by guiding them and keeping them away from any danger.

Guide dogs are specially trained, and they learn things like routing, obstacle avoidance, and obedience. Routing means the dog knows the way to go, and obstacle avoidance means the dog knows how to guide their handler around things that might be in the way, like a chair or a sidewalk crack. Obedience means the dog listens and follows the commands of their handler, who tells them how to behave and helps them know what to do.

Guide dogs are very special because they are not like regular pets. They have a very important job to do, and they help their handlers do things that they can't do on their own. They are amazing helpers and companions for people who need them.
