The compound joins 导 (dǎo, "guide"), 盲 (máng, "blind"), and 犬 (quǎn, "dog") to name a dog trained to guide a person with limited vision.

Usage tips

  • In public, a working dog is usually left undisturbed because a greeting or touch can break its concentration, so permission from the handler comes first.
