Urcelle is a companion dog to a man who has been blind since childhood. At home the 9-year-old German shepherd loves to romp with the family cat (figure A), but when her harness goes on, it's time to go to work. She is, as her master puts it, both accepted and ignored in his workplace: she is totally accepted in the office environment, but everyone realizes that she is there as a working animal, not a pet (figure B).
