Among the most respected of animals, Guide Dogs are bred, cared for and trained to be responsible for the mobility and safety of vision-impaired people. This book provides insights into the human and canine expertise involved in training a Guide Dog in interviews with staff and those who own dogs.

'I've got a companion wherever I am.' A guide dog and its handler have a very special bond. Guide dogs are trained to make life easier for people who are blind or who can't see well enough to get about safely. And a guide dog makes a wonderful friend. Find out about the breeding of guide dogs and the care of newborn puppies. Who looks after the pups as they grow up? When does training start? What does the young dog need to learn? When is it matched with its handler, and how do they learn to work together? Meet Spike, Britta, Lundy and Lonnie: guide dogs in action. Did you know? Dogs were trained to guide blind people in Vienna in 1819 at an Institute for the Blind founded by Johann Wilhelm Klein.

Diana Lawrenson writes articles for magazines and newspapers as well as picture books and information books for young people. She wrote this book in collaboration with her local Guide Dog Association.
