After chatting with Wang Xingxing, Chen Yiyang went home and casually mentioned today's events while having dinner with the accountant.
The accountant was curious and asked, "Are there so few guide dogs in the country? How come I see news every now and then about guide dogs being banned from entering certain places?"
"Perhaps such news is more eye-catching. Once it happens, it spreads out and forms public opinion."
Chen Yiyang happened to know a bit about the field, so he explained to the accountant, "Actually, guide dogs aren't meant to accompany blind people long-term.
After all, once a guide dog is successfully trained, its remaining lifespan is less than ten years.
In comparison, human life is too long.
If a guide dog were to accompany a blind person for life, then one blind person would need two to three guide dogs throughout their life.
Although guide dogs are a charitable endeavor, the training cost for each one reaches two hundred thousand.
