A three-year-old Labrador named Aiju on May 15 became the first guide dog to set paw in the press hall of China's State Council Information Office in Beijing.

Aiju accompanied Wang Zhihua, a visually impaired accessibility advocate, to a meet-the-press event ahead of China's National Day for Helping the Disabled.
