At that time there was no training of guide dogs in Taiwan, and blind persons had to go all the way to the US to undergo courses in how to use guide dogs, and then to be matched with a suitable dog. Chen originally planned to apply (guide dogs are free of charge), but later something came up and she abandoned the idea.
當時國內並無本土犬隻訓練，視障者必須遠赴美國，接受導盲犬的「使用訓練」後再與適合的犬隻配對，她原本打算申請，後來因故取消。
