Description

Several guide dogs and their handlers have been attacked by roaming or out control dogs in the four weeks. Blind Low Vision New Zeaand says there are parts of South Auckland where they're no longer placing guide dogs because of the risk of attacks. Blind Low Vision NZ chief executive Andrea Midgen spoke to Lisa Owen about how uncontrolled dogs mean some people are missing out on guide dogs.
