Guide dogs

2025-06-23
Guide dogs are working dogs used by visually impaired persons to facilitate daily mobility and are often praised as "the eyes of Blind”. According to the Disability Discrimination Ordinance, anyone who refuses to allow a visually impaired person with a guide dog to enter any premises that the public is allowed to enter, or refuses to provide that person with services or facilities, may be considered in violation of the Ordinance. However, guide dog trainers are not allowed to bring guide dogs into public premises, leading to a lack of practical experience in public premises during their training. Currently, guide dog training in Hong Kong is not recognised or regulated, and the number of guide dogs in Hong Kong falls far short of meeting the needs of visually impaired persons. How can society help develop this service further to ensure more visually impaired individuals can access appropriate guide dog services and have their rights protected?
