Forty guide dogs-in-training and their handlers hopped on the Metro this past Saturday to give the puppies a taste of public transportation. The group left Union Station on the Gold Line around 10:30 a.m. and headed towards Pasadena for lunch.

Guide Dogs of America provides guide dogs and instruction in their use, free of charge, to blind and visually impaired men and women from the United States and Canada. Service dogs are allowed on all Metro buses and trains. And in some cases, they may even come work for Metro!
