GUIDE DOG HELPS TRAINERS AVOID CAR - ““He kind of alerted me that there was something pretty bad happening behind us…” O’Neill, an 18-month-old yellow lab, was on his final field test when he suddenly turned around.”
A guide dog in training named O’Neill and his trainers narrowly avoided being hit by a runaway car. As the video shows, O’Neill and his trainer noticed the car just in time, then ran out of the way. O’Neill is being trained through an organization called Guide Dogs for the Blind. Read more from ktvu.com:
The video from Monday morning reveals how Guide Dogs for the Blind trainer Todd Jurek and his dog O’Neill both heard the car behind them as it jumped the sidewalk and headed their way.
“He kind of alerted me that there was something pretty bad happening behind us,” remembered Jurek.
Jurek said O’Neill, an 18-month-old yellow lab, was on his final field test when he suddenly turned around.
“He reacted probably two seconds before I did,” explained Jurek. “He turned around saw it, then I turned around saw it.”
Jurek said when he saw the car barreling toward him and his colleagues — including the woman who was blindfolded as part of the training — he instinctively pushed them out of the way.
O’Neill, a Yellow Labrador, passed his test and will be graduating from the program soon. Click here for the full story and here for more about Guide Dogs for the Blind.
