WARNING: This week’s Studio 1 contains language that some listeners may find offensive.

 

Matthew Layton 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…

Matthew speaks to Dave Kent, a man who has been a guide dog handler for 44 years - the last thirty of which he has been working for Guide Dogs for the blind.

The conversation starts off in a rather jovial manner, but goes in a direction that some listeners may find difficult to listen to as Dave describes being taken away from home at 18 months old and tells us how he recently got run over for the first time in his 44 years as a guide dog user - by an electric bike!
