Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. 

On this week’s show 

"International Guide Dog Day” 

For international Guide Dog Day, we ask; what would your dog say... if it could talk?  Thanks to the input of the Dog Guide Handlers Australia Facebook page, we get some answers - with the volunteer readers of Vision Australia Radio Adelaide bringing those comments to life. 

Lizzie also catches up with Lester Craim, the Client Services manager for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia; and Lisa and Anthony share their experiences as Guide Dog Handlers. 

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.

A special thank you to Seeing Eye Dogs Australia and Lester Craim for the interview  Thank you to Anthony and Lisa for your insights.  Also special thanks to everyone who contributed to the facebook comments on the Dog Guide Handlers Australia Facebook page - and to our tireless volunteers at Vision Australia Radio Adelaide for bringing those comments to life.
