Do know that you also have hearing dogs in the video? They perform very different roles from Guide dogs, they tend towards the other end of the temperament scale and are usually rescued from shelters. This doesn't detract from their role-I wish more dogs could be put to good use rather than be put down. You seem to be classing them all as the same thing.
Education is a good thing, just check your facts first...
That's me (my legs) and my dog, Valkyrie @ 2.17. We trained in 2000 at Guide Dogs Victoria. We travelled Europe together (11 countries in 28 days), first Guide dog to go on a Contiki tour. We also travelled to America. She has retired is living with my parents and loving it.
Great video, and thanks for posting this. Anything to raise awarness about Guide dogs, or any other type of assistance dog is important to me. So this is a tribute to all of them, they are amazing dogs.
Overall, i think you did a pretty good job.
