WORKING DOGS

Susan Platworth spent a week in the United States, meeting dog owners whose
animals have been trained to help human beings.

Susan met Blacky and Kate in a restaurant. Kate is a university student and she's blind.
Blacky is her guide dog. Kate says she would not be able to go out, and have an active
life if she didn't have Blacky by her side. Blacky leads Kate along crowded sidewalks
and helps her cross busy streets.
Another dog, Lady, a German Shepherd, belongs to a unit that searches for
survivors of disasters - usually earthquake disasters. She can find survivors
5 under buildings that have collapsed. Lady has been trained to walk carefully and
to crawl into small places. Susan watched a video of Lady at work after an
earthquake in Turkey.

King is a mixture of German Shepherd and Rottweiler. He has been trained by a

police unit to search for illegal drugs. One policeman told Susan that he hides
drugs in all kinds of strange places for King to find. He gives King lots of practice.
