When Raymond, Chairman of HKSEDS, learnt of my mother’s disapproval, he arranged to meet with my family members together with trainer Monica at the time, and also brought with them a training pup. This pup was Dor Dor. During our conversation, Dor Dor lay quietly resting on the floor. His warm and calm presence uncaptured my mother. She changed her mind completely and accepted the Seeing Eye Dog idea!

My matching program with Dor Dor was hard work, however, I gained much through the process. I had never owned a dog before so had no experience in looking after one. Thankfully, trainer Kelvin guided me through and taught me all the essential steps, travelling on public transport and going out to play in the park with Dor Dor. Most importantly, mastered how to instruct Dor Dor to guide me along the way. The matching program was an eye-opener for me. Training routes took me along to places I’ve never been before, although much walking and hard work, I was happy and enjoyed the training. The whole program was extremely useful and prepared me well to venture out to different environments in future.

Dor Dor and I have been together for a year and a half now. He is my ‘Little Prince’. We are partners and go everywhere together, joining my friends at the Shing Yan Centre band room, taking me to school, watch football together at home, and most amazingly…… we went to see Dear Jane in concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum! My life has become much more enjoyable and happier with Dor Dor around!
