Guide Dogs UK defended its methods and blamed drop in number of trained dogs on Covid
Blind people are waiting more than a year for guide dogs due to misjudged animal-welfare rules, according to a former Guide Dogs UK employee.
The number of guide dog owners in the UK has declined from more than 5,000 in 2017 to 3,695 in 2022, despite demand remaining stable, according to an open letter written to the heads of Guide Dogs UK.
