Beijing to allow guide dogs on subways

It’s been almost a week since Beijing started allowing guide dogs onto the subway. The new rules provide greater convenience for the visually impaired, but they continue to urge greater accessibility for the dogs in the city’s public transport system. CCTV’s Tang Bo filed this report.
