It‘s up to us â€" and other groups like ours â€" to provide the support necesâ€" sary to continue this extremely important work. Guide dogs receive comprehensive, and very intensive, instruction for several months before being matched with a visuâ€" Ally, aurally, of physically impaired perâ€" son.

"Seeing eye and hearing ear dogs, for example, take their blind and deaf owners out into a world that is fraught with danâ€" ger," Weima notes. "Special skills dogs out into a world that is fraught with danâ€" ger," Weima notes. "Special skills dogs are even more remarkable, helping their owners get dressed, transfer from a bed into a wheelchair, turn lights on and off, and countless other essential tasks that are too tough for some people to manage alone." "Although the dogs are very expensive to train, our board members believe that the work they do is invaluable and we plan to continue supporting the program wholeâ€"heartedly," he adds. 309Kâ€"449K.
