At that time there were only eight guide dogs in all of Taiwan, not to mention that after leaving their foster families they would have to undergo six months of professional training and then be successfully matched to a visually impaired person before they could be considered genuinely "working."
原來當時全台只有 8 隻導盲犬，加上狗狗離開寄養家庭後還須經過大約半年到 10 個月的專業訓練，並與盲友媒合成功後，才能正式上路。
