The phrase 'man's best friend' goes back for centuries, and guide dogs have been used to aid the blind since at least the mid-16th century.
狗被称为“人类最好的朋友”已经有数百年之久了。十六世纪中期乃至更早的时候，导盲犬就已经开始被用于帮助残障人士。

During the Great War, guide dog training schools were set up in Germany to aid injured soldiers and spread to Britain in the early 1930s with The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association established in 1934.
一战期间，德国设立了专门学校以训练军犬援助伤兵。在20世纪30年代早期，这一做法传到了英国，英政府于1934年设立了“导盲犬协会”。

Today, guide, service and hearing dogs are exempt from normal pet regulations on public transport and in restaurants and establishments.
如今，导盲犬、服务犬、助听犬被给予了特权，可以在“宠物禁止入内”的公共场所，如公共交通工具上、餐馆里或公共建筑里自由通行。
