‼️😡😱🦮 if you cycled through a red light this morning in Westminster and narrowly missed a woman and a guide dog, that was probably us. Over 20 cyclists jumped red lights today at pedestrian crossings when we were trying to cross. We were very lucky not to have been hit.

👩🏼🦯😱Tip of the Day: if you see a white cane user walking down the road, please don’t step out directly in front of them so they walk into you and then say “are you okay? “. Chances are, they probably will have been okay up until the point that they collided with you.

👩🏼🦯🙄So often at the bus stop I have an unprompted conversation like this. Which bus are you waiting for? Me: says number where do you want to go? Me: says destination. Yes, that’s the bus you need. Sometimes they add “well done”. Anyone else get this? I’m blind not lost😂

So please, never interact with a guide dog in harness while they are guiding their owner. if the guide dog appears not to be working/having some downtime e.g. when on a bus or tube ask the owner first before petting them and if they say no, respect their response. Thank you.

Navigating with a white cane is made so much harder because of overhanging plants and trees from peoples gardens. Please, if you have the luxury of good eyesight, cut back overhanging foliage from your property so that it doesn’t hit me and other blind people in the face.

🦮😞 Today when changing trains at Reading a man refused the station staff member’s request to move his pram to one side in the lift to make room for Otto and me to get in saying he didn’t want to put his daughter’s life at risk. FYI as a

Otto is no risk to anyone.

I know TGD is very endearing, as our most Guide Dogs, And you might not think you are putting him or me in danger by interacting with him, But please let the fact that he is wearing a guide dog harness with a sign saying “please do not distract me” be the judge of that.

🦮😕 Standing on our usual tube station platform at our usual time to commute to work a man asks me whether I knew that the trains are very crowded at this time and he is not sure whether my dog will handle this. Erm yes, Otto will take it in his stride as he does every day.

Today’s training included mainline trains, tube station escalators and navigating a very crowded Oxford Street. TGD did brilliantly to guide me safely through crowds of people many of whom were not looking where they were going. He definitely loves a challenge.

3. As TGD was guiding me through a crowded High Street with lots of obstacles a man started waving and making faces at TGD, bending down to his level. In all cases these were adults not young children distracting him. Fortunately in the first two cases TGD and I stopped.

Thank you to the mum who stopped so I could explain to her young son what “that stick thing “was. I showed him how I used it to detect uneven Pavement and obstacles. He told me how he had skinned his knee when he tripped over and agreed my cane would help me avoid doing that.

🤦🏻♀️ Service providers, retailers and utility companies please, please when a customer calls you and explains they can’t access something because they are blind, don’t ask “is there someone else there who can help you?“ If there was, do you not think I might have asked them first?
2

47
👩🏼🦯⚠️ I use my long cane to detect obstacles in my path so I can navigate safely around them. I know it’s well intentioned, but shouting “stop or “grabbing me as you see my cane about to make contact with a post or A-board is at best unnecessarily alarming and at worst dangerous.

45
Today as Otto was guiding me onto the tube, someone pushed between Otto and me causing me to lose my footing and my foot went down between the platform and the train. I’m OK but what bothers me more than what they did was that they didn’t say anything but just pushed past us

Not Great experience at branch of well-known café chain today. Staff reluctant to tell me what cakes they had“there are too many“, spoke to me through other customers “ what does she want? ?” and wouldn’t guide me to a free table. Thanks to all other customers who helped us
8
6
44
Eventually I asked “why are you distracted? “In the hope another customer might hear and explain the problem e.g. there was another Dog or there was a big obstacle in the way. A man laughed and said “I’m distracting him!” And I realised he was petting TGD.

43
🐶‼️ to the owner of the Dog that you struggled to control as it growled and lunged at My Guide dog this afternoon in Putney, I really hope this served as a wake up call that you need to control your dog better around other dogs. BTW Otto is fine though I was a bit shaken.

TGD‘s concentration might have been broken resulting in him not stopping at a kerb or steps or not guiding me round an obstacle, putting both of us in danger. TGD has enough to contend with guiding me in London without these additional, completely avoidable distractions.
1
1
43
in the third case I was able to work TGD on past the distracting man. However had we been approaching obstacles such as Lamposts or bollards that TGD needed to guide me past, or steps or kerbs that TGD needed to stop at, the outcome could have been very different.
1

43
Examples include: one. As I walked into a shop, a woman said “I know I’m not supposed to pet you but I will anyway“ and proceeded to stroke TGD. Two. TGD guided me into a café and then suddenly stopped and seemed unusually distracted. I tried to encourage him on with no success.

😱 Today as Otto was guiding me to the station something hit my leg and knocked me flying. I then heard a child scream. Turns out a very young child had cycled into us heading straight for a busy road. Of course I don’t blame the child, but where was the adult supervising them?
3

42
😕A man kept saying “come on “to Otto as I was trying to train him on finding a particular landmark so I asked him not to distract Otto. a woman then shouted “don’t be so rude!“at me. If people respected The do not distract me sign on Otto’s harness I wouldn’t need to ask.

I have now had an explanation from

Waiting with Otto at a pedestrian crossing we cross almost every day a woman shouts at me “I will help you across the road. I thanked her and said I didn’t need her help and she walked off shouting “wait there until it goes green “. Did she mistake me for a very tall toddler?

Just bought Otto a honking pig toy which he is delighted with. I feel I may live to regret this firstly as he won’t stop making it honk and secondly because he now knows that there is a pet shop on a route that we walk regularly.

Another day where Otto has amazed me with his guiding abilities. He aced the route from Westminster tube station to where I needed to go in St Thomas’s hospital and back again. A route I have done 100s of times with site, with Kane and with his predecessor but first time for him.

To avoid anyone thinking I am ungrateful for help, I really appreciate it when people offer to let me know when the bus I need arrives as even with apps such as city mapper it’s hard for me to tell for sure. It’s the questioning that I know where I’m going that perplexes me.

Day 3’s walk was a repeat of the route to the gym and then the station. TGD was well-behaved lying down next to the bike while I did a workout. He loves the station and when I asked him to find the steps he not only did so but took me straight to the handrail.

🦮. if you are walking in a group spanning the whole pavement and see a guide dog coming towards you do you a) carry on taking up the whole pavement, b) stop in front of the guide Dog or c) move to let the guide dog pass. Those choosing a or b were definitely out in force today.

TGD’sday: said goodbye to the family who looked after me while I did my training and went with my trainer to the house of a strange human who I’ve met a few times. new place seems okay: food✅ bed✅ squeaky toy✅ 😀comfy looking sofa that of course I will never sleep on✅😇
🦮And we’re off! TGD arrived today and we did a training walk to my gym (no excuses for me now!) , to the tube station and then home again. Even though my trainer is holding the lead while I hold the harness, I already sense the freedom that TGD is going to give me.

I reply with a slightly bemused thank you but so want to shout”yay, I’ve won the bus lottery today with a match between my randomly selected bus route and destination!” or express disappointment as I’d hoped the bus would take me somewhere more interesting.

Otto’s day: lots of walking around with the strange human today and she said good boy to me a lot. One walk was to the park where I got to let my fur down🤗I think I am the best ball stealing dog in Putney. Strangely the strange human didn’t say good boy to me once for this.😕🎾

👩🏼🦯🦮 Yesterday I met another guide dog owner whose previous dog had retired and was on the waiting list for a new one.
We agreed that whoever got their new dog first would buy the other a drink.
Any other Guide dog waiters want to do the same?

👩🏼🦯🤯 that heartsink feeling when an app or website which was previously accessible has been upgraded and now is inaccessible to blind people. Result? frustration for blind people and a sense of being a second-class citizen and potentially lost business for companies
