Our community suffered a great loss last week. Vega, our one-year-old dog, has fell asleep forever. Despite our best effort, her life could not be saved. We call the attention of all the dog owners to vaccinate their dogs against infectious diseases, as in most of the cases, they provide appropriate protection to our pets.

Sandor Nagy and Szezám (Sesame) passed the road safety exam in Sopron. The confidence coming from the guide dog carried everyone off their feet. The nervous owner was also impressed by her, so everything went well in the road safety exam. We thank Mónika Köbli for training Szezám. We are also grateful to Enikő Soltész-Kopácsi

Last Firday, we participated in a special charity concert in the Nádor Hall. Beside music, the guide dogs were in focus in the sold-out performance, as the organisers supported the Baráthegyi Foundation for School for Guide Dogs with the income of the concert.

What is the first thing to come to mind when you want to give thanks? This is the question we asked before Easter, so that we can give our readers an insight into the thoughts of our visually impaired friends, inseparable from their guide dogs. We were not only interested in their feelings towards their

Annamari Kardon practices on street pianos in Budapest. This time, she played in the underground station at Fővám tér. Her yellow guid dog Szikra (Spark) follows her everywhere, so even those who otherwise would not stop to listen to her music will surely give a minute or two to the pup. Annamari and Szikra do

We have completed the first electric car (e-car) – visually impaired pedestrian research in Hungary! We have tested an e-car with the participation of a blind employee of our Foundation. The reason for this was, that those vehicles which moving in stealth mode, silently in the traffic, can be dangerous for the visually impaired people.

In the past few weeks, a lot of dogs have eaten the moldy walnuts that fell in the fall and were left under the trees. The life of our guide dog, Pixel, had to be saved. It is a big help for visually impaired owners if the sighted people nearby help them when they notice
