In September 2004, when Wang Jingyu watched the live broadcast of the Athens Paralympic Games, he found that many foreign blind athletes were holding guide dogs when they entered the stadium, but China blind athletes were not. When the 2008 Paralympic Games were held in China, didn't the blind athletes in China have their own guide dogs? Therefore, he came up with the idea of training guide dogs.
Wang Jingyu's major is to cultivate experimental animals. Guide dogs do not belong to experimental animals and cannot occupy the funds for cultivating experimental animals. Wang Jingyu decided to buy and train guide dogs at his own expense. Since October, 2004, Wang Jingyu has been looking for pets in Shenyang, Anshan and Dalian every weekend. He finally found three puppies one by one, and named them Stone, Mao Mao and Lulu respectively, and patiently raised and trained them like children.
In May 2006, Wang Jingyu established the first training base for guide dogs in China in his experimental animal center, and further expanded the number of dogs. From 2005 10 to 200610/month, Dalian Guide Dog Training Base successfully trained three guide dogs, but it took Japan 19 years to train the first guide dog. Everything Wang Jingyu did was for public welfare, and he bought puppies and dog food himself. Since 2004 10, Wang Jingyu has spent nearly 500,000 yuan on training guide dogs.
Wang Jingyu is very excited to be the torchbearer of the Paralympic Games. He said that his job is to serve the disabled, and he was honored to carry the torch for the Paralympic Games. He told reporters that at present, the base * * * has cultivated 18 guide dogs, four of which have gone to Beijing for running-in training with the China delegation of the Beijing Paralympic Games and members of the China Disabled Art Troupe, and they will assist the blind athletes in China in the Paralympic Games. At the same time, he also decided to award five guide dog awards to blind athletes who won medals in the Paralympic Games.
