The movement to train seeing eye dogs began after World War I in Germany, when many soldiers were returning home with injuries that left them blinded. The concept was to train dogs (in this case, German Shepherds), to guide the blind person out in public safely.

do retired guide dogs have the same rights and access as working guide dog?

Retired guide dogs do not have the same legal rights and access as working guide dogs.

However, many businesses may still choose to allow retired guide dogs as a courtesy, but this is not guaranteed.
