According to the World Health Organization, there are nearly 40 million blind people in the world. Like every other person on the planet, they need independence. And it can be safely provided by the presence of a specially trained dog. Guide dogs for people with blindness are specially trained and educated. They support people's lives, allow them to walk and travel, to be independent in a way that was not possible before. It is much easier to socialize and communicate with other people.
