I know some people who are blind who push their strollers ahead of them
while using a guide dog and although I dont' agree with the practice, some
schools teach their dogs to guide that way if necessary. A stroller is much
easier to push then to pull and maybe she felt comfortable pushing hers.

Was no one else asking themselves, what was this blind mother doing pushing
her stroller I had of her when crossing a street, does this not place the
baby in danger if she was totally blind? Sounds kind of funny to me, and I
get the gist of the story is the capabilities and/or intuition of the guy
dog, but I have more questions than answers at this point
