I sit corrected I thought they had been "rebranded" a number of

ago.


We are both half wrong from their website "Guide Dogs is a working
name of The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association."


I was talking about "Guide dogs for the blind" as being Guide dogs for
Blind people, though they are also used by people with restricted vision
as well as Blind .


Which is presumably why they have been rebranded as just "Guide
Dogs". There are also dogs that guide humans in other ways as well
not just those with restricted vision. The wording on signage that
prohibits dogs but allows "guide dogs" doesn't have "for the blind"
appended.
