Far from stupid






This sign was on the corner of a stable block outside Montreal.

During the last two weeks I have helped two totally blind riders who both have wonderful dogs. One outside Adelaide and one outside Ottawa. I think that the training of guide dogs would have to be
one of the most standardised and successful training method anywhere in the world.  

One never sees a badly behaved dog that is working with its harness on. I know that a lot of dogs do not 'pass' and so do not become 'guides' but it is certainly a very successful system.

Outside Adelaide

Two wonderful dogs who give freedom to their dearly loved owners.
