I am a guide dog!

It's finally starting! From now on, you're my protector, and I'm your protector.
I go for a walk with my sister.
I will do my best, just like I learned at guide dog school.
But it's not easy.
Sometimes, a dog approaching from the opposite direction starts barking and startles you, and sometimes, people try to give you food because you find it strange, or people take pictures of you without permission because you find it strange and distract you.
There are many things to avoid on the road, such as roads dug up due to construction, illegally parked cars, and signs standing tall on tactile paving blocks.
Besides, why won't they let me into the supermarket or restaurant? I can go anywhere if I wear a yellow vest.

A Guide Dog's Walk: The Eyes and Most Special Friend of the Visually Impaired

Yellow vest and harness, guide dog recognition leash, and assistance dog tag.
This is a sign indicating that it is a guide dog.
Guide dogs are special purpose dogs trained to help visually impaired people walk safely. They are like the eyes of a visually impaired person, so they can accompany the visually impaired person wherever they go.
However, due to a lack of awareness about guide dogs, there are still many cases of them being denied entry to public places and transportation facilities.
"I am a Guide Dog" is a picture book that follows the walking path of a visually impaired person and a guide dog.
It calmly shows the discomfort and difficulties experienced by visually impaired people through the eyes of a guide dog, eliciting empathy.
It also helps us think about guide dogs, who serve as the eyes and feet of the visually impaired and help them with their everyday lives.

The emotion presented by the simple writing and restrained yet sensual illustrations.

Instead of revealing subjective opinions or positions, author Pyo Young-min of this book calmly shows the world as it is through the eyes of a guide dog.
Artist Wonhee Jo, who drew the pictures, has used her delicate and sharp perspective to tell a difficult story in a restrained yet sensuous way. The simple yet delicate pictures convey a heartwarming emotion to readers, while also raising questions about things that are obvious but not often thought about deeply.
This is a work that contains numerous stories in one book.

※ When you meet a guide dog, please be sure to follow it!

1.
You must not call or touch the guide dog.
This is a behavior that distracts the guide dog.
Help your guide dog and partner focus solely on each other.

3.
Please do not take pictures without permission.
Taking photos or videos without permission can distract the guide dog and make the visually impaired person feel uneasy.
