    Cool! It says the founder was inspired by how someone in Germany trained dogs to guide blinded WW1 veterans! In England they’re called guide dogs because the first ones there came from an organization called Guide Dogs. Also they guide.

      In Australia, they are also called guide dogs, for the same reason. And for the same other reason too.

      Exactly the same, in fact, since our Guide Dogs was started by a bloke from the OG English crew back in the 50s. Not sure what blind people did before that, just kinda wandered around and hit things with sticks I guess.
