A Dog's Ten-Year Separation to Help the Disabled, Reunion Brings Tears

When I was a child, every time I made mistakes remembering things, I was scolded by elders for having 'poor memory' like a dog, and I always misunderstood that dogs had poor memory. It wasn't until I grew up that I realized dogs' memory was much better than mine!

Take the experience of this little dog, I'd say that nearly half of the world's people have worse memory than it.

Its name is'Guide Dog'which is a working dog, and it has to go through at least 3 separate trainings in its lifetime.

First separation:Because guide dogs need to be trained from a young age to prevent puppies from learning bad habits from their mothers, they are sent to boarding kennels for (boarding homes) right after weaning.

Second separation:From the puppy's weaning (generally around 40 days old) to when it's 1 year old, it will live in the boarding home, this is to cultivate the dog's family traits and get it familiar with human life, preparing for it to become a qualified guide dog.

After it's 1 year old, the boarding kennels will return it to the 'Guide Dog Training Base' according to the contract.

Third separation:The training base will conduct 1-on-1 training for these puppies, unqualified dogs will be returned to boarding homes, and dogs that meet the requirements will stay on to 'continue their studies'.

Trainers hope the dogs graduate early so they can help humans sooner, but they also hope the dogs are a little clumsy because graduation means separation.Fifth separation:

Graduated guide dogs will be matched with blind people, eventually becoming new owners' 'eyes'. This job will almost accompany the dog for its entire life until it retires at 10 years old and returns to the training base or its first owner.

In foreign countries, there's a Labrador that was sent to a boarding home at 40 days old, as the time to return the puppy was approaching, the dog owner was unwilling to part with it, so the dog owner washed many photos of it and left its favorite baseball glove as a souvenir.Year after year, except for a drawer of memories, the dog seemed to never appear in the house until 10 years later, when the dog owner suddenly received a call from the Guide Dog Training Base asking if she was willing to adopt her 10-year-old dog again.

The dog owner immediately agreed, after hanging up the phone, she was a little worried, 'It's been 10 years, has it forgotten about this home? What if it's uncomfortable living here?'

When the dog jumped off the car that moment, all her worries dissipated instantly.

The dog remembered that it made the dog owner so happy, but even more surprising was that when the dog owner took out the baseball glove, the dog's excitement was just like 10 years ago.

The only difference is that 10 years ago it hadn't grown so old...

Dog's lifespan is about 12 years, to help humans, it almost used up its whole life, but the first owner's figure always stayed in its heart.

Compared to this dog, can you still remember the names and appearances of your 10-year classmates or neighbors?

There are also many cold facts about guide dogs, such as it takes about 200,000 yuan to train a guide dog, and the funding sources of the training bases are unstable. If you want to know how to help them,
