Blind man goes out at night with his guide dog

[@Peg79]

Mr Maple did such a great job taking care of you while out at night! ❤🐕😊

[@yodpatt]

Here before this blows up

[@JasonFrankenstein]

I love Mister Maple's work attitude with the harness on... But then becomes your best friend at home. What a good boy 😊

[@syrusangi8743]

I keep getting impressed by guard dogs n the fact that they even pay attention to details like curbs in this case to avoid incidents is really something else. Applause for these smart animals n their trainers and/or owners who make it possible to have such trusted n insightful companions.

[@jennalopez9772]

They are guide dogs

[@melbapeach162]

I get made when I see loose curb slabs or dog poop left by people.. makes guide dogs jobs even harder! There is a half-a-foot sized hole in the middle of the pavement near my house and I have to lead my blind dog around it everyday, our council is shit at fixing these things.. I can't imagine what a guide dog would do there because it would be at risk of it's own leg getting stuck but it would obviously not want it's owner to step in it either

[@syrusangi8743]

@@jennalopez9772 Obviously. I'm just saying I'm impressed with the level of attentiveness

[@kat.soronson]

​@@syrusangi8743 I think they were trying to point out that you said "guard dog" in your original comment instead of "guide dog"

[@syrusangi8743]

@@kat.soronson Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying.

[@Tori_mt]

I still wonder how these guide dogs are so excellently trained. Like you totally depend on them, and they do an amazing job. Dogs are really more intelligent than we give them credit for.💖

[@cdeathlonger7446]

I think I read somewhere that they train them for 2 years. I could be wrong but yeah. That's also why they're so expensive

[@EvyHeart]

There are some vids on KZbin about that. As I learned from those vids, they are chosen by temper and some characteristics, a guide dog should have. And: In those situations, they are in work mode and after a few years, they will retire. So, they are a great help and they like it, but it's also exausting for them.

[@Tori_mt]

@@EvyHeart that’s impressive. I love dogs but I think I’ve been underestimating their abilities.😄

[@wolflinggon5664]

They start them very young too. Like six months old…. Maybe even younger

[@Tori_mt]

@@wolflinggon5664 Wow! So they’ve basically been preparing them their whole life.

[@ThePretendJudge]

I got my dog when I was barely 18. (31 now & we are still together.) He's not a guide dog, but I remember getting so lost in Richmond when we moved there & my goodboy took us back to the apartment ❤

[@thefryinator7774]

Seattle is super scary at night now. Can't imagine being blind and going outside at night. Paul is a braver man than me

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

That’s the lightest harness I’ve ever seen. Live and learn. Secondly…. I’m so happy you two men have found each other in this world. 💕

[@SharaHannah]

No but when hes like "were are you?" And hears the "I'm right here" his eyes light up and his smile it's so precious too, i feel like im falling in ljve with this couple 😊❤

[@Mommio_Andretti]

I dk Paul, you're pretty damn brave. You get through this daily with a smile on your face. That's bravery, my friend.... THAT is bravery. ❤

[@MadelynRodriguez-yw6fh]

Mr. Maple is such a good boy. Also the bumps you see or don’t see 😆 are called truncated domes. They’re used to help us blind folks know where the side walk meats the street and that there is a cross walk ahead of you. 😁

[@escott696]

Unfortunately a nightmare in a wheelchair but understand the need for them

[@mikesoule1352]

Thank you. I did not know that!

[@lisasophiekaps]

@@escott696 as a currently blind person in wheelchair, I feel very conflicted 😂

[@maileiakealoha5775]

Mr. Maple is so amazing and a wonderful guide dog, he does all the things he should but he's also very happy and loving too the both of you.

[@colink.4868]

​@@lisasophiekapsawww 😅❤️🙏🏻

[@GrupoChucumite]

I love what a good boy Maple is, and I applaud your going out at night, Paul. You don't let anything stop you!

[@jwsm2]

I love Mr Maple he's always dedicated and dependable:)

[@megandink]

In Australia our traffic lights make a running/ticking sound when the pedestrian light turns green to go ❤

[@Cyranon.]

Ours do as well, some even say "walk" and may include the street name. I wonder if that section of the video was edited.

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Please show more of the things Mr. Maple does. How amazing that he stopped you at a curb! Fascinating! I would love seeing more of the things he communicates that I would never think about...like a curb!

[@kanavanloon4244]

God bless mister maple, he and all the guide dogs are true hero's

[@frenchfry14595]

Paul, you are so brave to me. It's moving, to see the obstacles you overcome throughout the day.

[@smania7575]

Guide dogs are amazing. The fact you can train a dog to lead a human and the dog takes satisfaction in being a "good boy" and doing his/her job is awesome. Same thing with support dogs of all kinds. Absolutely amazing.

[@tazochaiguy]

I know that Paul is smiling throughout all this, but I could feel his anxiety 😢

[@bethjoiner8899]

You three are all so lovely. I look forward to you. ❤

[@AlyssaWalker11]

Guide Dogs are so smart. I love watching them work.

[@helenawong]

Honestly, with everything you do daily, I think you are very brave and strong. I don’t think I can handle even half the things you do with the limited sight you have… let alone your books!!! You’re amazing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@soul4music79]

I love that you guys do these videos, for one you all have amazing personalities, but you also are teaching people like myself, the struggle of what a person who’s blind goes through on the daily. ✌️💜😊 🐕

[@janr4726]

I learn so much about blindness, guide dogs, and great relationships from your videos-and all will laughing. Thank you very much. Pls keep the vids coming ❤❤❤

Paul is like a character out of books I read, or like my teachers from elementary school, or out of a fantasy movie!! I love his vibe so much I wish we could be friends!!!

[@caylalacey6018]

Braille bumps! I had no idea what those were for. Wow. I kind of always stare down when walking because i trip too much even with my sight. Can't imagine going through this but thank you for educating people and being so truly you. Both of you. Love love love your videos. And Mr Maple of course.

[@hildia5439]

I cant imagine going blind... I have terrible vision and everything further than an inch from me is a huge blurr of colors and shapes and I get so so frustrated with it. You're so positive and open about it. I'm sure you have other feelings about it too, but go you for not letting it stop you!
