Kens guide dog was blind. Not once did the faithful old guide dog put a paw wrong as
Kens guide dog was blind. Not once did the faithful old guide dog put a paw wrong as he led his blind master through the city streets. Sometimes the blind man noticed that his dog seemed to be a bit late in avoiding other people on the pavements. But Ken Williams never suspected the truth - his seven-year-old golden labrador Abel was slowly losing his sight. So every day, without fail, in rain or shine, Abel guided Ken safely from his home in the outskirts of Cardiff, South Wales, to work in the city centre. A journey which involved crossing three side roads and a main road into a station where they caught a train. Guide Dogs for the Blind Association arranged a replacement - Gay, a two-year-old black labrador bitch. Now Gay does the office trip, but Abel is still Kens much-loved pet, and the trio go for walks together after work, Ken and Abel being led by Gay. Gay leads the way for both Ken and Abel.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we witness the incredible bond between Ken Williams and his faithful guide dog, Abel. Despite being blind himself, Abel never once faltered in leading his master through the bustling city streets of Cardiff. Little did Ken know that while he relied on Abel's unwavering guidance, the loyal golden Labrador was slowly losing his own sight. Day after day, rain or shine, Abel safely guided Ken from their home on the outskirts of Cardiff to his workplace in the city center. Navigating three side roads and a main road before catching a train at the station became second nature to them both. Their journey was a testament to their trust and reliance on one another. However, as time went by and Abel's vision deteriorated further, Guide Dogs for the Blind Association arranged for Gay—a two-year-old black Labrador bitch—to take over as Ken's new guide companion during office hours. Yet despite this change in routine, Abel remained an adored pet to Ken. Nowadays, when work is done for the day, all three—Ken, Abel, and Gay—embark on leisurely walks together. Guided by Gay's watchful eyes and leadership skills honed through training with Guide Dogs for the Blind Association; they continue exploring life's adventures side by side. This touching photograph captures not only a remarkable story of devotion but also serves as a reminder of how love knows no bounds—even among our four-legged friends.
