So I went swimming at my college a couple of days ago.. and everytime I go swimming I see this blind guide dog on the side of the pool, waiting for its master. Its so amazing how the dog can just stay there and wait, and not even bark...

yet another reason why dogs > cats

do u ever see a blind guide CAT??
 
I don't see any blind guide cats, but if you think that sitting quietly is amazing, every cat in the world does that all the time.

thats just because cats are lazy in nature!

😀
 
It truly is amazing. I love my dog(Rex) to death, I can't even begin to fathom the love I would feel for him if he were my eyes and let me live a semi-normal life. The loyalty and trust. Makes you wish dogs had more of a life-span than they do now. 🙁
 
my dog doens't listen to me at all and i love her!!!!

i wish my dog could talk -- that would be so pimp.

aahaahha
 
Yeah, leader dogs are simply amazing. My ex had a dog that didn't make it all the way through the training...too stupid. 😛 😀
 
My wife's got a guide dog from The Seeing Eye. Apparently while they're there the dogs get around $30,000 worth of training.

"Leader Dogs" is one of many schools where visually impaired/blind people can get a guide dog, but I've never heard the term used to refer to the dogs themselves. I guess some people must say it but 'guide dog' seems to be more widely used.

One of the more impressive things a guide dog learns is called intelligent disobedience. For example, if the dog and owner are at the curb of a street crossing and a car is coming that the owner doesn't notice. The owner will command the dog 'forward' to cross, but the dog won't budge. They may command them repeatedly, not knowing why the dog won't obey yet, but it'll still wait until it deems it safe.

I haven't seen them myself but there are guide miniature horses! Imagine taking one of those in to work.
