The China Guide Dog Training Center, which was founded in May 2005, is the first non-profit seeing eye dog training institution of China. Sixty-seven dogs have graduated from the center and worked for blind people. Fifty-four dogs are receiving training from 22 staff members and other 35 puppies are fostered here. The seeing eye dog training is a time-consuming and costly system, therefore the non-profit organization is struggling in predicament. "Only those who really love the job can make it," says Liang Jia, a worker of the center. The International Guide Dog Federation admits those countries where more than 1 percent of the visually handicapped people use seeing eye dogs as the guide dog popularized country. There remains a long way to go for China. (Xinhua/Yao Jianfeng)
