Background The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is a British charity that employs around 1,000 people and has over 10,000 volunteers to help breed, train and place dogs with blind or partially sighted people. It has four training schools in Britain and one breeding centre. It takes around 26 weeks to train a dog with a specialist trainer, and this also includes three to five weeks working with their new owner. The association also supports the owners throughout their lives and checks up on the dogs regularly. Guide dogs usually spend six to seven years working before they retire. Guide dog owners only pay 50 pence for their dog, which enables everyone who needs a dog to have one.

DVD script Solutions Third Edition Intermediate DVD script 8 photocopiable © Oxford University Press 8 Guide dogs for the blind There are five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Different senses send messages to different parts of our brain, and this is how we interact with the world around us. But these senses are complex and fragile – especially our sense of sight. About 285 million people around the world have problems with their sight. Around 39 million are blind and around 246 million are partially sighted. This presents obvious difficulties, although many of these difficulties have been overcome. Louis Braille lost his sight when he was a young boy.
