Some guide dogs may wear a red and white checkered harness, but do you know what it means?

This type of harness indicates that the guide dog owner has dual sensory loss, meaning they are visually impaired and also deaf or hard of hearing.

The red checkers help others recognise that the person may not be able to rely on visual or audio cues in the same way, encouraging greater understanding, patience and accessibility in public spaces.

Every partnership is unique, and small details like this can make a big difference in helping people navigate the world with confidence. 💛

The dog is looking towards the camera with its tongue slightly out. Part of the guide dog owner can be seen sitting on the bench behind the dog, wearing a light blue top and holding the guide dog handle.]
