Chapter 61 Guide dogs take the train to open the eyes of island children

A guide dog refers to a dog that has undergone special training and obtained the "Guide Dog Work Certificate", which contains the information of the guide dog user, is stamped with the official seal of the public security department or the Federation of the Disabled, or has the logo of the International Guide Dog Federation. A service dog that assists the visually impaired to work and live.To put it bluntly, a guide dog is a dog that has undergone strict training and is a type of working dog.Guide dogs are trained to help blind people go to schools, shops and more.They are accustomed to the restraints of collars, guide belts and saddles for the blind. They understand many passwords and can lead blind people to walk safely. When they encounter obstacles or need to turn, they will guide their owners to stop to avoid danger.The cost of training a guide dog is about 10 yuan.

Since May 2015, 5, passengers with visual impairments in my country can bring their guide dogs into the station.However, a valid ID card, disability certificate, and guide dog work certificate (with the information of the guide dog user, stamped with the official seal of the public security department or the Federation of Disabled Persons, or with the logo of the International Guide Dog Alliance) are required when purchasing tickets "IGDF"), animal health and immunization certificates, all four certificates are complete.

After agreeing to Wang Mengmeng, Liu Qun walked towards the No. 4 carriage, muttering in his heart: This Wang Mengmeng is really a double happiness today, there were Japanese group passengers on the bus before, and now a guide dog is on the bus, both of which are rare in 10 years Passengers, get together today.

Boarding the train from carriage No. 4, Liu Qun found that the passenger was in seat No. 67.The seats of the Japanese primary school students are closely next to each other. Now, the blind passenger has found a seat with the help of the Japanese "skinny translator". I saw that he is about 50 years old, with a big pair of Black sunglasses, a walking stick with red and white reflective signs in his left hand, and a guide dog's leash in his right hand. The white guide dog is wearing a black guide saddle, lying quietly at the feet of the blind man.

In our country, today's guide dog has been understood and welcomed by more and more people, but it is still relatively rare, and it soon became the object of crowds.It was also the first time for Liu Qun to observe a guide dog at close range. He saw the guide saddle on its body, which is mainly a set of equipment fixed on the body by a metal bracket. Restrain the guide dog.

Liu Qun stepped forward and asked about the passenger's situation.And after re-checking the passenger's four types of documents, he asked: "Hi passenger, I am the train conductor of this train, do you need to change to a seat with relatively less traffic?
Because our railway department has regulations, if conditions permit, the train staff should coordinate as much as possible, and arrange passengers with guide dogs on the train to relatively spacious seats, so as to facilitate the ride and look after the guide dogs. Participants should also coordinate as much as possible and arrange their companions to the nearest seats.You are a key passenger under the regulations of our railway passenger transport department. If you have any needs, please let me know, and I will try my best to meet your needs. "

Liu Qun's original intention was to adjust the passenger to the front or rear of the train, so that no passengers would pass by.It is also the first time for Liu Qun to encounter a blind person with a guide dog in a car. Even though he has rich experience, he also finds it a bit tricky. The most important thing is that there are more than 60 Japanese elementary school students next to him, although they are not the focus of the regulations. Passengers, but the active nature of primary school students may cause them to be curious about guide dogs. If they want to play with guide dogs and get injured accidentally, the consequences will be very serious.

But the blind passenger was still stubborn. He said to Liu Qun: "Comrade train conductor, thank you for your kindness. We often go out by train, bus, subway, etc. Guide dogs are used to crowded environments and will not Don't worry if others cause harm. If necessary, I can let the guide dog enter under the seat. And my guide dog will not urinate and defecate during my ride, please rest assured.

Also, I don't think I am a passenger who needs to be taken care of seriously. With the help of a guide dog, I can do anything. Can you help those passengers who really need it? "

Liu Qun was already a little unhappy when he heard what the passenger said.Quickly said: "Well, can you introduce your partner? It's the first time we've met!"

"It has become accustomed to being surrounded by crowds at any time," said the passenger. "It doesn't get scared, it doesn't get excited, it always remembers its job."

The passenger told Liu Qun that many people now know about guide dogs, which makes them feel very convenient.The 5-year-old guide dog is the first guide dog in the county-level city where he lives, and has been with the owner for 3 years.

The 52-year-old passenger is nearly completely blind in both eyes due to visual impairment, and only has light perception.He said: "Three years ago, my son accidentally saw the scene of the blind Olympic champion Ping Yali carrying a guide dog to carry the torch during the 3 Paralympic Games on the Internet. It was the first time that our family was rescued by a magical guide dog." Attraction. Before that, every time I went out, I either had to be accompanied by my family, or I could only explore carefully with a blind stick.

Our family began to collect information on various guide dogs, and learned that this is a working dog breed that requires strict training.Compared with the needs of more than 1600 million blind people across the country, wanting to own a guide dog is like winning a lottery.With the encouragement of our family, in 2016, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, our family applied to the China Guide Dog Base in Dalian.

Fortunately, my application was approved quickly, but there are so many conditions that are almost harsh to become a guide dog.My 'brother' (special guide dog)'s father is a German dog, and his mother is from Australia. His grandfather, grandma, and grandpa's grandpa and grandma's grandma have no record of hurting others. "According to the requirements of guide dogs, only Only dogs that have not hurt people within 6 to 8 generations are eligible for selection, and all guide dogs must be neutered."

Liu Qun said: "I didn't expect guide dogs to be so strictly selected!" Liu Qun found that "Slender Translator" and two Japanese teachers also came over to listen, and "Slender Translator" softly translated.

"Our family paid more than 15 yuan to train a guide dog. Although the price is expensive, I think it is very worthwhile. My 'brother' is like giving me a pair of eyes, and I really regard it as my own. My brother. With the popularization of knowledge about guide dogs, more and more people accept and understand this breed. Many people have watched the Japanese movie "Guide Dog Little Q" and have a good impression of guide dogs. 'When going out, people often come over and say that he knows it is a guide dog, a Labrador, and is very docile.' More and more businesses and transportation departments are also accepting guide dogs, and now they bring 'brothers' 'When going out, most bus drivers, taxi drivers can let Johnny get on the bus, although many shopping malls will intervene, they will eventually give the green light to the 'brother'."

Liu Qun wanted to say something else, but he felt at a loss for what to say, because the most important thing in service is "whatever the owner wants to do with the passenger", and the passenger's needs are the direction of the train service. , then it is likely to cause disgust among passengers, and the high-quality service in the eyes of service personnel will become poor service in the eyes of passengers.

Liu Qun found that many Japanese children were already standing or sitting, and the guide dog cast a happy look.Liu Qun felt that it was necessary to explain the situation to "Slender Translator".Don't make a publicity after the Japanese passengers get off the train - it's so easy to take a train on the China Railway, but I didn't expect to ride in the same carriage with the dog.

Do not let Japanese tourists misunderstand.

Liu Qun explained to the "slender translator" who had been listening to his conversations with blind passengers that China Railways allowed guide dogs to travel with a license. Liu Qun tactfully expressed his thoughts and said to the "skinny translator": " I hope you don’t misunderstand, sometimes things are so coincidental, our China Railway started to allow guide dogs from May 2015, 5, of course trained professional guide dogs to take the train, I hope you don’t mind sharing with guide dogs A carriage."

"Skinny Translator" explained the translation to the two teachers, and only heard three Japanese men talking Japanese in a "squeaky" manner. Liu Qun observed from the side and found that not only did the three of them not look unhappy at all, On the contrary, I feel very excited.

"Slim Translator" said to Liu Qun: "A few years ago, a film "Guide Dog Little Q" was staged in Japan, which claimed to have moved [-] million viewers. It is a heavy 'tear gas bomb' developed by the Japanese film industry. The protagonist is the director. The blind dog Xiao Q, through getting along with Mr. Watanabe who doesn't like dogs, narrates the most sincere and simple touch between people and guide dogs.

Coincidentally, the students in this class just watched this video collectively last week.The two teachers were very happy that this train ride in China allowed the whole class to observe the guide dogs at close range. They planned to let the whole class take advantage of the great opportunity to ride with the guide dogs. The teachers Give the students a composition question, the title is 'Guide Dogs on Chinese Railways'. "

Liu Qun said: "Oh, that's right, I hope you don't mind, and please restrain the elementary school students, don't get close to the guide dog, and keep a distance when observing."

The "thin translator" continued: "The train conductor, we don't mind, we are very honored to be able to see guide dogs on the train, which is enough to show that the humanized service of China's railways has reached a very high level. .China's railways are world-class! Don't worry, the children won't come close!" After speaking, he compared Liu Qun with the "heart-to-heart" gesture popular in China.

Under the instructions of the Japanese teacher, a group of 6 Japanese primary school students took the seat closest to the guide dog to observe and shoot for 3 minutes across the back of the seat, and then changed to another group to observe and take pictures at this seat.

Even so, Liu Qun did not dare to relax his vigilance. After all, it was the first time he saw a guide dog in a car.He quickly rushed to the dining car and held an impromptu three-car-in-one meeting with the chief police officer, chief inspector, and duty officer to discuss countermeasures. Later, he unanimously came to the conclusion that necessary preventive measures should be taken. He cut off his gloves, wrapped two thick sheets on his left arm, sat next to the guide dog, and observed the situation at any time to prevent accidents.
