Accident Injures A Blind Man And His Dog

June 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment

John Cooper and his guide dog, Faith received a nasty shock when they fell into a three foot pothole two weeks ago. They were walking down Gateshead Road in Hertfordshire where a pothole was left open without barriers when the incident happened.

Due to the lack of barriers, Faith missed the hazard. While she is trained to recognise signals such as cones and barriers she was unable to prevent Mr Cooper from falling into the open pothole.

The pair both suffered minor injuries and discomfort after falling into the hole which was full of sewage. Mr Cooper says he feels lucky not to have been more seriously injured.
