If they are used to having one, it's a sense of loss and having to relearn how to travel.

If they have never had a guide dog in the first place, they would just use a cane.

Some blind prefer to use dogs, while others prefer not to. There is no right or wrong decision.

Being blind affects many aspects of a person's life. It may affect where they live. Since they cannot drive, it would probably be more convenient to live where everything is within walking distance, so they do not have to depend on someone else to get them where they need to go. Regardless, it is more difficult for blind people to be entirely independent. If they do not rely on other people, they will most likely at least rely on a seeing eye dog. Blind people are limited to a different arena of entertainment than those who can see. They cannot watch movies or ballets, but they can enjoy a symphony. Their selection of literature is limited to what can be found in Braille. Blind people are also said to have a much keener sense of hearing and smell, due to their lack of sight. They hear and smell and feel their surroundings rather than see them. Being blind also affects how someone will interact with others since they cannot create first impressions based on a person's appearance.
