INTHEBLACK presents an episode from CPA Australia's INTHEBLACK Out Loud podcast.

A vision-impaired person stands on the kerb with their guide dog, waiting to safely cross the road. They give the dog a command to cross, unaware that a near-silent electric car is quickly approaching the crossing.

In this instance, a dog that obeys every command exposes itself and its human companion to the risk of injury or death.

However, a dog that ignores its master in favour of a different course of action delivers a safer outcome.
