This video was prepared by Northwest Portland Ministries volunteers to provide an understanding of a Guide Dog applicant's needs, as well as for use in evaluating his travel skills. It demonstrates the applicant traveling in full, front, side, and back views and demonstrates safe and independent street crossings and independent navigation in his home area. It includes aspects of the applicant's daily routes: traveling on roads, cement sidewalks, paths to the grocery and boarding the public transportation he normally uses. It also shows the applicant's home and work area, including desk, break area, and the guide dog's anticipated rest area. Travel speed is demonstrated with a sighted guide - an NWPM volunteer.

NWPM inspires volunteers from congregations and the larger community to help neighbors live with dignity and purpose. We provide food, recreation and helping hands.
