Employment and disability: a guide dog on internship at the office

In the corridors of the BPCE group (Banque Populaire, Caisse d’Epargne, Natixis, etc.) in Paris, he is an employee who does not go unnoticed. Jean-Pierre Yin never comes to the office without Taoki, a young golden cross Labrador. It is not a four-legged companion like any other. His blue vest clearly displays his status: “Guide dog student”. It is intended to accompany, after sixteen months of training, a visually impaired person on a daily basis. His days in the banking establishment alongside his volunteer tutor are therefore part of his education.
