Guide dogs are assistance dogs trained to lead blind and visually impaired people around obstacles. Although dogs can be trained to navigate various obstacles, they are red–green color blind and incapable of interpreting street signs; the human does the directing, based on skills acquired through previous mobility training. The handler might be likened to an aircraft's navigator, who must know how to get from one place to another, the dog is the pilot, who gets them there safely. In several countries guide dogs, along with most service and hearing dogs, are exempt from regulations against the presence of animals in places such as restaurants and public transportation. References to service animals date at least as far back as the mid-16th century; the second line of the popular verse alphabet "A was an Archer" is most "B was a Blind-man/Led by a dog". In Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 19th-century verse novel Aurora Leigh, the title character remarks, "The blind man walks wherever the dog pulls / And so I answered."The first service animal training schools were established in Germany during World War I, to enhance the mobility of returning veterans who were blinded in combat.

Interest in service animals outside of Germany did not become widespread until Dorothy Harrison Eustis, an American dog breeder living in Switzerland, wrote a first-hand account about a service animal training school in Potsdam, published in The Saturday Evening Post in 1927. That same year, United States Senator Thomas D. Schall of Minnesota was paired with a service animal imported from Germany, trained by the owner of LaSalle Kennels: Jack Sinykin of Minnesota; the service animal movement did not take hold in America until Nashville resident Morris Frank returned from Switzerland after being trained with one of Eustis's dogs, a female German shepherd named Buddy. Frank and Buddy embarked on a publicity tour to convince Americans of the abilities of service animals and the need to allow people with service animals access to public transportation and other areas open to the public. In 1929, Eustis and Frank co-founded The Seeing Eye school in Tennessee; the first service animals in Great Britain were German shepherds.

Four of these first were Flash, Judy and Folly, who were handed over to their new owners, veterans blinded in World War I, on 6 October 1931 in Wallasey, Merseyside. Judy's new owner was Musgrave Frankland. In 1934, The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association in Great Britain began operation, although their first permanent trainer was a Russian military officer, Captain Nikolai Liakhoff, who moved to the UK in 1933. Elliott S. Humphrey, an animal breeder who trained the first guide dogs for the blind used in the United States. Mr. Humphrey was hired to breed German shepherds at a center in Switzerland, set up by Dorothy Harrison Eustis of Philadelphia and began the work that led to the Seeing-Eye Dog program; the first dogs produced at the center, known as Fortunate Fields, were used for military and police work and for tracking missing persons. Mr. Humphrey trained German shepherds to guide the blind; the Germans had developed a guide dog program during World War I, but Mr. Humphrey devised different procedures and it is his that are followed in the United States Important studies on the behavior and training methods of service animals were done in the 1920s and 1930s by Jakob von Uexküll and Emanuel Georg Sarris.

They introduced advanced methods of training. There have been important studies into the discrimination experienced by people that use service and assistance animals. Guide dog breeds are chosen for trainability. Today, Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles and Golden Retriever/Labrador crosses are most to be chosen by service animal facilities; the most popular breed used globally today is the Labrador Retriever. This breed has a good range of size, is kept due to its short coat, is healthy and has a gentle but willing temperament. Crosses such as the Goldador, combine the sensitivity of the Golden Retriever and the tolerance of the Labrador Retriever and Labradoodles are common; some schools, such as the Guide Dog Foundation, have added Standard Poodles to their breed registry. Although German Shepherds were once a common breed used for guide work, many schools have discontinued using these dogs due to the skills and unwavering leadership role required by the handler to keep the breed active and non-destructive.

Despite regulations or rules that deny access to animals in restaurants and other public places, in many countries, service animals are protected by law and therefore may accompany their handlers most places that are open to the public. Laws and regulations vary worldwide: In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits any business, government agency, or other organization that provides access to the general public from barring service animals, except where their presence would cause a health or safety risk. However, religious organizations are not required to provide such access. Whether service animals in training have the same rights or not falls on each individual state government. In addition, the Fair Housing Act requires that landlords allow tenants to have service animals, as well as other types of assistance animals, in residences that have a No Pets policy and that no extra fees may be charged for such tenants; the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity investigates complaints from the public alleging denial

Immaculate Conception Academy known as ICA Greenhills or ICAgh is located at 10 Grant Street, San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a private college preparatory Catholic school for Chinese Filipino girls run by the Missionary Sisters of Immaculate Conception; the school directress is Sr. Irene Ferrer, MIC. ICA is a non-stock, non-profit elementary and secondary school owned and directed by the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, a Canadian-founded congregation of women religious by Delia Tetreault. ICA caters to Chinese Filipino female students. ICA traces its foundation in 1933-1936 when the Chinese families in Binondo requested the MIC sisters to open a school so that their children who have been baptized in the Catholic Church could be followed up in the practice of living out of their faith; the school moved seven times to accommodate its growing population due to influx of Chinese immigrants escaping the Sino-Japanese War as well as the damage of school buildings as a result of the shelling of Manila by the Americans and the Japanese during World War II.

The close ties between ICA and its neighboring exclusive school for boys and co-member of the EDSA-Ortigas Consortium, Xavier School, that can be seen today can be traced to the 1950s. At the invitation of the Jesuits who were building Xavier School in 1958 in the newly opened subdivision in Greenhills, the MIC Sisters constructed a building, completed in 1960. In 1975, ICA-Intramuros was fused with ICA-Greenhills. At present ICA-Greenhills has a population of 3,381 with 1,009 in the high school department. ICA was considered an Anglo-Chinese school with a double curriculum. In 1954, ICA became a Filipino school offering the Chinese Language Arts program as an essential part of the curriculum. While majority of the student population is Chinese Filipino, Chinese heritage is not a main criterion for admission to ICA. ICA undertook the accreditation process of Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools and Universities or PAASCU in SY 1983-84 and received full-accredited status in 1986, it was reaccredited in 1989, 1994, 1999 and 2004.

In late 2009, the High School Department was granted a top-tier Level III Accreditation by the Federation Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines. ICA has seven gates. Gates 1 and 2 are located at Grant Street, Gates 3a and 3b are at Xavier Street, Gates 4a and 4b are located at Roosevelt Street and Gate 5 is at Washington Street.
