Social Security Administration Guide: Alternate Text for Images

Guiding is a partnership between the dog and the handler. The handler wants to go somewhere, and the guide dog has to get the handler there safely. To achieve this, decisions are required of both team members. For example, in crossing a street, guide dogs do not have the capability to read traffic lights and “cross now” signals for pedestrians.
“Pastel leads her handler who holds the harness in his left hand”.
It’s not including the purpose. The picture is of a dynamic action of guiding. Providing static descriptions of active images is not conveying everything that is pertinent.
