Guide Horses:Lifelong Friends for the Blind
Animals are our friends.We know that dogs can help blind people go to
some places.Now horses can also do it.Digby is a small American horse.Now
it is the first guide horse in England.And its owner is a blind man named
Mohammed Patel.Patel is afraid of dogs,so he chooses Digby as his guide.
Digby gets a lot of training with Patel.It learns to walk slowly and lead
Patel to walk in the street and get books and magazines for him.It also helps
Patel choose clothes when he goes shopping.
Now it is not a small horse.It is very big and about 0.8 metres tall,so
Patel can't take it to his company.When Patel takes it to the office,it knocks
things off the desks.So Patel has to say goodbye to Digby.Luckily,Digby has
a new job.It helps blind people travel around some places in London.
As we know,a guide dog has only eight years of working life,but a guide
horse can live for about 50 years.So a guide horse can be a "lifelong friend"
for people.
