The sceptic in me thinks did that really happen?

It reads like one of those things put together by people who don't like the idea of electric cars at all. A well trained guide dog would hear them.

I'd also ask whether it's actually a guide dog's role to do 'kerb drill' and be aware of cars turning into a side road. Would it do that or just to lead its handler to a safe place to cross?
