A guide dog..★

I took a bus from college to Hirakata station yesterday. Many students were lining because it was after 2nd class. I lined and waited for a bus too. I took a bus and I was surprised. Because there was a big-white dog in the bus. The dog was a guide dog. He(She?) was quietly dropping to the floor near the partner. I have a dog, so I wasn't afraid of him but I was understanding carefully not to tread his legs. He kept still even though the bus shaked, many people took.

I watched a nonfiction-movie, 'Tail Of Belna' lately. The story starts from husband and wife of the blinds welcome a new member of family, Belna. Then a boy is born among them. Many people have prejudice against guide dogs and most of restaurants refuse Belna's entering. And some people mess Belna, for example a man put side waist of Belna for fire of tabaco. The couple will realize the dream 'We grow our son ourselves' with Belna, facing such troubles. I cried many times during the movie. Please watch it once.

My friend was growing a few dogs when I was a child. Making them training is probably very difficult and hard, but I think I want to make them training.

There are about 1000 dogs in Japan now, but it is said the number of people who need them are about 7800. Their training begin after 2 months from being bone. They are grown from then to 1 years old by puppy-worker, for 10 months. Espesially, I hear dogs can understand saying and feeling of human, so they will know happiness of living with human. Then they come back to training center and take examunations. Finally, they become guide dogs to help people. They work for about nine years. They are precious partners and a member of family for the blinds. I think they are very wise and really wonderful.
