Britain: Richard is an elder who is blind and has a trained guide dog named Irvin. The door-to-door ministry proved to be a problem for Irvin because he was specially trained to remember every place that Richard visited. When Richard mentioned the situation to those who had provided the dog, they explained that this kind of ministry was too great a challenge for Irvin. They recommended that Richard have Irvin accompany him in business territory, where the dog would become familiar with the various locations he would visit on a regular basis. Richard had always found witnessing in business territory somewhat intimidating, but with Irvin’s help he soon became adept at this form of witnessing.
