"Partnering with a Guide Dog is all about trust and teamwork. No one knows that better than me."
- Michael Hingson and Roselle (World Trade Center survivors)
This educational publication teaches your child about how and why these specialist assistance dogs are trained to give independence to their owners. The breeds used and the expectations of the dog owner are explained. Readers will get to understand the preferred breeds, their natures, capabilities, and specialist aptitudes in assisting people using their senses of sight, smell and hearing.
With vivid illustrations and captivating photographs
This is a perfect ebook for kids to explore and discover all about Assistance, Working and Service Dogs. It provides details of the history of the special relationship between dogs and the blind stretching as far back as 79 AD; the first organized efforts to train Guide Dogs; the role of Guide Dogs in Germany during World War I; and ‘Buddy’ America's first Guide Dog.
Facts, explanation and trivia will keep your child fascinated and entertained, provide enjoyment whilst improving understanding and knowledge. The canine quiz at the end of the book is stacked with information which will keep younger readers fully engaged. For instance did you know that there are 3 groups of Assistance Dog services; Guide, Hearing /Signal, and Service? That some blind people prefer Guide Horses to Guide Dogs? That these daring dogs will wake up people who are sleeping if a fire starts?
Find out why Labrador Retrievers, chosen to aid disadvantaged people acting as Guide and Therapy Dogs, are the world’s most popular canines. Readers will discover the dog’s intelligence, strength, obedience, trainability and how they detect and engage in therapeutic ways. These dogs can reach mentally disabled children in ways that people can’t greatly improving their rehabilitation with treatment therapy. You will get an understanding of the incredible ways these dogs perform their work and what they have been trained to recognize and do. For instance, I was amazed that they sense changes when people with diabetes have dangerously low or high blood sugar and activate a medical alert button.
Assistance canines are elite rehabilitation therapists
These dogs are trained to a level difficult to imagine………Imagine your heart pounding in your chest while struggling with your wheelchair chair up a steep incline when your best friend suddenly and eagerly pulls you up the ramp. The close bond which develops between dogs and owners makes them an inseparable unit. Both are totally reliant on each other for emotional and spiritual support that will bring tears to your eye.
"You fastened yourself to me completely at age two and were mine for 12 amazing years. We sped down streets at a pace that made some adults breathless, and as long as I told you what to do – forward, left, right – my life and absolute trust were in your paws. Your loyalty and devotion were profound lessons."
- Deborah Kendrick speaking of her former guide Clarice
