A trainer holds her dog's harness as she gives a daily lesson at China's only guide dog training centre in the north-eastern coastal city of Dalian September 7, 2007. The privately funded centre, which was formed in 2004, has four full-time trainers for a total of eight dogs that take around ten months to be fully trained. At the end of this training, the dogs are given away free-of-charge to visually-impaired people. The centre is hoping that with next year's Paralympic Games in Beijing, they can receive extra funding to assist with supplying guide dogs for blind athletes. REUTERS/David Gray (CHINA)
