3 DON’Ts & 1 DO – When You Meet a Guide Dog

When we come across a cute little doggie, sometimes we can’t help start petting them. But what if it is a guide dog? Then, please pause and remember the “3 Don’ts and 1 Do” rule.

 

3 Don'ts:

 

1. Don't Disturb

Do not make noises or hand gestures to catch the guide dog’s attention; do not touch and pet the guide dog without the handler’s permission.

 

2. Don't Feed

Do not offer food to attract or feed the guide dog.

 

3, Don't Reject

Do not reject the guide dog from entering a public area.

 

1 Do:

 

Do Ask

Offer assistance when you see a visually impaired person and their dog confused or lost.
