Guide Dog Saves Blindfolded Trainer From Run-Away Car

From Jonathan Turley's web site, submitted by a guest blogger, David Drumm.

Note that the guide dog alerts to the sound of the run-away car from behind him just in time.



The San Rafael police department has requested the California Department of Motor Vehicles to re-examine the 93-year old woman who drove the vehicle.

The guide dog is in the midst of his final testing and will soon be protecting a blind or otherwise sight-impaired person.

mistake and panicked when it went, shoving on gas, not brake. Glad no one was hurt and time to pull her license. A sad day for her but it needs doing.
