Before watching this movie, I didn’t know much about how the process of training and matching people with service dogs worked, except that it probably took a long time to teach dogs all of the skills they use. Watching this documentary was eye-opening. I enjoyed watching the group of guide-puppies and their journey through training to be paired with the people they would assist. It’s so impressive how much dogs are capable of learning and how many people are passionate about training them for such a good cause. I didn’t realize how rigorous the program was to train guide dogs was and how only a very select few would make the cut to be matched with a person. The dogs knew how to navigate through traffic, recognize several dangerous situations and help their owners go to a safe place, and even notice how far along to stand on a train platform. The time and effort put into training dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind were very inspiring. It was also very heartwarming to see how these dogs have impacted their people’s lives and how excited the trainers, foster families, and everyone involved in the process were to see the dogs succeed in assisting others.
