'Minap.hu' reports about a program that started three years ago with the professional guidance of the Association of the Blind and Hard at Seeing. The program - that was initiated based on an American model includes the youngsters in training dogs from their 8th week until they are one-year-old. In Hungary blind people have to wait for a service dog for 10 years, due to the cost and time it needs to train such dogs. The program improves the social skills of young offenders and they can feel they participate in something really useful.
