What ๐ฆฎ means
A dog in a harness with a handle, working as a guide. It stands for guide dogs that lead blind and low-vision people.
Handlers use it for their own guide dog, and others use it in posts about blindness, accessibility, and working dogs. It fits training-school news and reminders not to pet a working dog without asking.
It differs from ๐โ๐ฆบ, which shows a dog in a service vest and covers assistance dogs for many disabilities.
