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.
