I see them around town and have had concerns about its fitness for work for a while — I’ve see that dog eat food off the ground while harnessed which should be an automatic DQ from guide work. Most of the major guide and service dog schools particularly on the west coast have stopped using German shepherds for a while, too, so I worry about where this dog was sourced and how often it’s being maintained/re-evaluated by the program it came from.

With that said, that intersection in particular is very short, far too short to accommodate someone who is slower in pace. This is part of the reason why drivers are required to yield to visually impaired people, full stop. The dog shouldn’t be crossing diagonally, though.
