Subject: Things to do

Dear Michael,

Hey Mike, I am going to need you to get a few things sorted out. Can you do that?

Right. First, I am going to need you to write up the guidelines and requirements for people who
are qualified to apply for a guide dog at our organisation. Not everyone can apply. We only
accept the neediest applicants. Definitely have a look at the WhatsApp chat between Jason and
me. Also, I’ve sent you the email from the back and forth I had with our social worker, Tamila.
Please also have a list to the radio show, too. Thanks!

Then, have a look at the data and recommendations we bought from InfoNow, a data collection
company. Summarise the results from the data and recommendations for our company review
panel. They will want to know what people think about guide dogs at the moment. If you can,
also report on the organisation’s current status. The panel is keen to know. Look at the pages
from InfoNow and the email thread between me, Candy and Evelyn from admin.

Next, please write to Chris Walters. He is the first applicant we ever granted a guide dog to!
Ask him if we can use his full name and image for promotional use in our blog. He won’t just
agree without understanding what our blog is about, so tell him. There’s also something
worthwhile for him if he helps us out. Read the Skype chat I had with Robert, our president, and
the radio show.

Thanks so much!

Robert: You’re going to ask him to be a part of our promotional strategy for our blog? That Chris?

Aaron: Exactly, I have the best man on the job already. I was wondering if there is anything we can do

to increase our chances to have Chris say yes.

Robert: How about if I write him a hand-written thank you note if he agrees?

Aaron: Thanks Robert. It’ll mean a lot coming from you.

Robert: I remember Chris! How’s this? We should make him an honourary ambassador to

Guidepuppy.

Aaron: You would do that?

Robert: Yeah, why not? I hope he’s enjoying Buster’s company. They’ve been together now, what,

for four years?

Aaron: He loves Buster and that’s for sure! How about we offer him free treats for Buster?

Robert: Good thinking! That should get him to say yes. But just in case, let’ be generous and make

give Buster a whole month’s worth of treats.

Aaron: Of course, he needs to say yes first. It would mean a lot to our promotion if we can get Chris.

Robert: I have an offer he can’t refuse.

Aaron: Yes?

Robert: We let Chris adopt Buster permanently. I know that people have to return their service dogs

eventually, but we can make an exception for Chris and Buster. Don’t you think?

Aaron: Now I think that’s an offer he can’t refuse.

Subject: Re: Current state of Guidepuppy

Hi all,

It’s quite unfortunately, indeed. With our current set up, the average applicant must wait up to two years
before they are given a guide dog. The most absurd part is that many applicants do not end up getting a
guide dog at all.

Dear everyone,

Agreed! To my understanding, all our current applications are first-come-first-serve. That’s how we have
operated for a long time now. I am afraid that the model must change soon. I know that there are many
applicants who needs a guide dog right now.

The biggest flaw in our current system, I think – we never ask for any proof from our applicants. What’s
the wait time for a guide dog, now?

Hi everyone,

I’ve compared the data and the public opinion, and I discovered that people are wrong in believing there are
enough guide dogs in Hong Kong. People are mistaken about that fact. What’s worse is that in our
current system, applicants are picking the most popular breeds. Maybe we should fix some our problems.

Hey Jason, how’s the accounting department

doing?
Not bad, and yourself?
Not bad either. Listen, I am contacting you
about work. Remember we agreed on a few cut
off numbers for applicants who can apply for a
guide dog?
Yeah. How could I forget them? They’re for
the new guidelines we’re trying to set up.
What did we agree on the cut off mark for
personal income?
Well … You have to make more than $15,000
per month before we consider your application.
Yes, we have to make sure our applicants are
able to take care of the dog, and themselves.
There’s a lot of expenses with keeping a dog.
We also agreed that applicants must have at least
two sources of income, right?
One source of income is fine, but we do consider
family contributions as a source of income.

What if they don’t get money from their family?

If they don’t get financial help, then applicants
cannot live by themselves. Otherwise, it’s just
too much.
That sounds all good and fine. What kind of
proof do you need from our applicants? You
know … to verify their finances.
Preferably, we’d like to see a bank statement.
We’ll also accept a tax return from the previous
year.
On a side note, do you think it’s too harsh if we
make barrier-free access a must for our
applicants?
I think it’s a little harsh to make a requirement.
How about considering not making that a
requirement?
I think you’re right. Let’s not make it a
requirement.

Dear Aaron,

To answer your questions, I believe that you must live in at least 500 square feet of space or more before
applying for a guide dog. Most guide dogs are medium-sized and will require some space. Applicants
should have more than one room in their homes, too.

If it were up to me, I would make sure applicants are already living with family. I would consider making
that a requirement unless they can prove that they can support themselves. Family support is a must!
They must help the applicant in some way.

Lastly, one thing I like to add is that stable residency is important to the applicants and the dogs. It will take
a long time for the visually impaired to get used to a new home, and the same for dogs. I would give
applicants with at least two years of experience of living at the same place a higher priority.

Subject: Things to do

Dear Michael,

I need your help with the following tasks.

We have successfully invited Guide Dogs for Community from the US to help us launch their
puppy raising scheme here in Hong Kong so that we can have a steady supply of puppies for guide
dog training. Write a magazine article to give details of the scheme and what it is to be a puppy
raiser. Start by looking at the organisation’s webpage. Note: try to write from the readers’
perspective, and in a positive way.

Secondly, we need to write an internal report on the major misconceptions regarding guide dogs.
The results from the survey should be a good start. Apart from summarising them, please also
mention what can be done to improve citizens’ awareness. The radio show I attended and my
email correspondence with a citizen ought to be of some use as well.

Finally, we need to write a letter of invitation to the guest of honour for our guide dog training
centre opening ceremony. Mention what we want to invite her for and why, and provide all
information she needs to know about the ceremony. You can take a look at our meeting minutes
first if you have forgotten what we talked about last time. Remember, make her feel she will be
welcome, and that we deserve her help.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Raise Puppies; Help the Blind

Everyone can be everyday heroes. Now’s your chance to

be one. Join our You Raise Pup Up scheme, and you can
change the lives of the blind for the better!

Interested? Read on!

What is the scheme about?

Even the most experienced employers today started as complete novices back then. No dog is
born to know how to guide, but first, there have to be pups for us to train. That’s where the
general public come in.

Who can join?

Are you 18 or above? Then welcome! No? Persuade your parents or guardian(s)!

I may know one or two things about pup raising, but will I be on my own all the way?
Certainly not, mate! We provide these in our puppy raising clubs:
☺ info leaflets
☺ qualified puppy behaviour experts’ pro tips
☺ socialisation trips (both raisers and pups)

Will you let me choose a pup I like?

Equal chances for ALL pups to be taken care of. NO pups left behind. So you know the
answer.

Never mind then. Onto a much more important question. How much are you willing to
pay me?
Your only payment will be the gratitude of us and the guide dog receivers. That’s what it means
to be volunteers. But hey, come on, it’s better to give than to receive! Surely the
meaningfulness and satisfaction of helping the blind outweigh the money, right?

Definitely! So then, when should the doggy be returned to you? What will happen to
them afterwards?
15-17 months old would be a good time. Proper guide dog training at our school is what
happens.

Will you let me know when my pup graduates?

We’ll send something like this to each and every raiser:

“Dear Raiser, I am pleased to inform you that Emily, your assigned guide dog puppy, has
successfully completed her training. We would like to invite you to attend her graduation
ceremony, scheduled for 15th June 2019, to acknowledge her accomplishment and the invaluable
service she will provide in the future.”

So far so good. I’m ready! How can I join?

Sign up directly on our website. Or if you prefer a face-to-face application, you’re always
welcome to any of our walk-in training schools countrywide.

You Raise Pups Up

Think Twice Before Joining

Johnathan Bailey

Ah! I know what you’re thinking when you read that title. “Heartless monster!”, “how dare
you!”, “I hope you get blind and see whether you’d say the same thing!” Don’t get me wrong
though. May I implore you to at least read on?

Been a puppy raiser myself for several years. After my first dog died, I came across this scheme
of Guide Dogs for Community. Thought it was a godsend coming to me at just the right time. I
thought to myself “I knew pretty much about dogs. Raising a guide dog puppy couldn’t be that
different from raising a common one, could it? Give it food and shelter, take it for walks every
day, play with it, and then give it back when it’s old enough. That should be it”.

Guess again.

Take care of pup’s basic needs – merely the very basics. There’s more: I had regular meetings
with staff, for starters. Simply can’t refuse (check-ups on the pup, behavioural reports, things like
these). Don’t think busy schedules can help you get away with a meeting. They’ll make sure
you attend them all, sooner or later. If not? They’ll get the puppy back. And also, you can’t be
more mistaken if you think you just need to walk it near your home – sorry, pup needs to be
familiarised with many many different social environments (parks, malls, public transport etc).
That’s YOUR job.

That’s why I said think twice; if it’s just a fun experience with a doggie you want, don’t join the
scheme. It’s all serious business. Thank God I came to understand that before it was too late.

100% agree with you, Johnathan. The scheme is definitely not for those who lack time, which is
the same for all pet owners, except that the puppies aren’t the raisers’ pets.

Date: 3rd February 2019
Subject: RE: my blind sister’s unpleasant experience today
Dear Chris,

I’m sorry to hear about your sister’s experience. What you’ve mentioned is related to two highly
common mistaken beliefs about guide dogs in our society.

In fact, guide dogs are legally allowed into all public places, restaurants included, but that’s only
half of the whole story – there’re exceptions. Hospitals are a case in point. Certain areas such
as the surgical room, Burns Unit and Intensive Care Unit are off limit to them. In addition, the
animals in zoos and national parks could disturb guide dogs (or vice versa), so these places actually
can refuse you to enter. Our advice to blind people is as follows: if you need to enter these areas,
please inform them in advance.

There’re three types of IDs for guide dogs, which are coats, harnesses, or working permits on their
leashes. If your sister’s guide dog had one of the above then the restaurant would be guilty of
denying her access. However, it’s imperative that ANY one of them can be presented; the law
focuses on legal identifications, not empty words. Of course, while I certainly agree that the
restaurant should’ve asked about the legitimacy of your sister’s guide dog in a friendlier manner,
we’d also like to advise all blind people to equip their guide dogs with the above IDs (any one will
be fine) and show them when necessary. This can help a lot to avoid misunderstandings and
unpleasant confrontations.

It’s undeniable that the general public and business owners need to get their facts right, but there’s
also something the blind themselves can do to help contribute to a guide-dog-friendly society.

Sincerely,
A. Chan

To whom it may concern,

I’m saying sorry in advance if my tone isn’t entirely polite because I’m livid as I write this. I’m writing on behalf
of my younger sister, who’s legally blind.

Today she had a really bad experience when she was visiting a friend at hospital. Long story short, the restaurant
staff refused to let her and her guide dog enter. My sister insisted that her dog was a guide dog, but the manager
said to her something like unless the dog was wearing a guide dog harness, they couldn’t tell whether it was really a
guide dog or just a pet. Then the next thing my sister knew was she got kicked out of the restaurant.

Clearly that restaurant was against the law right? From what I know, guide dogs can go everywhere a human can,
and who says guide dogs must wear harnesses?

What advice will you give me? Should I file a complaint?

Cheers,

1.
The minutes on 29 January 2018 were read, approved and signed by the chairperson. There being
no other issues resulting from such minutes, the meeting proceeded onto the next item.

2.
The main objective of this meeting was the details of the opening day of Guidepuppy Guide Dog
Training Centre. The date was the first item discussed. Lee suggested that it should be set two
weeks after the centre’s completion, which was estimated to be 8 March 2019. The chairperson
raised the concern that the date should be postponed for fear of unexpected incidents delaying the
completion time. Finally it was decided that 6 April, a Sunday, would be a more appropriate date.

3.
Cheung presented a rundown on the activities planned for the opening day.

Time Slots Activities

10:00a.m. – 10:30a.m. Registration

Cheung explained that such an arrangement was made with the consideration that the guest of
honour might not accept interviews with journalists. Wong then suggested whether the guest of
honour could attend solely for his or her words delivery session. The chairperson agreed and
further recommended that he or she should be allowed to stay and attend the other sessions
following, the tea reception in particular. All agreed. Lee proposed that the guest of honour
should attend the registration as a sign of courtesy, to which the chairperson denied.

A discussion on the guest of honour candidate ensued. All agreed that Joanne Anderson was the
ideal candidate. The chairperson reminded that the one who would write her invitation should
mention clearly the time slots relevant to her attendance and/or needs.

There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:45p.m.

 Article from Hong Kong Beacon Post

Local Guide Dog Association Cooperate with SPCA

SPCA takes in more than a thousand abandoned pets yearly in Hong Kong, most of which
are dogs. It just happens that Guidepuppy is an NGO which specialises in dog training on
a broader sense. With the soon establishment of its guide dog training centre, the two
animal-oriented groups have recently announced that a cooperation programme is
underway.

“Before a dog can receive proper guide dog training,” said person, a representative of the
association, “it needs to learn to obey basic commands and other essential skills such as not
to pee in the wrong places and not to bark randomly. All dogs can benefit from the
behavioural training our association is specialised in. That’s how we came up with the
idea of cooperating with SPCA.”

How does the programme work? To put it simply, when SPCA receives an abandoned dog
in the future and deems that it has behavioural problems, it will send it to the association.
“When the retraining is completed,” said Jerry from SPCA, “it’d send the dog back to us so
that it has higher chance of finding a new owner.”

The best part of the programme, however, is more than that.

“A considerable number of abandoned dogs at SPCA are puppies.” Jerry continued. “If
the pups are of the correct species and at suitable ages, the association will even kindly train
them as guide dogs! This is such a meaningful way to reduce the number of abandoned
animals by giving these poor souls a chance to start a completely new life.”

pups. I adopted them from SPCA years ago. Pet owners, please don’t surrender your
