#GuideDogFacts Guide Dogs don't usually know where they're guiding to - they are acting on the instructions of their owner, and it's a constant & continual interaction. We tell them when to turn left/right/go forward, based on routes we have memorised.

Some people are claiming I don’t exist. This DID happen - to me. I didn’t want to say anything as me b/c work, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit here and watch terfs erase my cis lesbian existence on twitter.
