Dog Squad
Mission: Bumpy Bits
Season 2 Episode 12 of 20
Kika is a golden labrador and a guide dog for her owner Dr Amit, who is blind, which means he cannot see. She is trained to use her super sight to help Dr Amit do as many things as he can by himself. Together, they make the best team! Dr Amit is off to the florist's to buy some flowers for his wife, Seema. To help him get there, Kika enlists the help of top secret 'bumpy bits', the system of clever dots and lines on the pavement that humans call tactile paving. As they navigate their way over a zebra crossing, along a footpath next to a cycle lane, down a stairway near the station and across the road at a pelican crossing, with its top secret spinning cone, Kika explains how the different bumpy bits help her and Dr Amit find their way around town. It's like reading a secret code. Dr Amit wears shoes that he can feel the different bumps through. And when he finds shoes that are good for the bumps, he buys five pairs! But on their way back from the florist's, Kika finds their path blocked. Can she use her super sight find a new way home in time to give Seema her flowers?
