>> Dear Daniel,
>>
>> I was 27 and in law school when I got my first dog.  I was a very good 
>> cane
>> traveler, and still am when necessary.  Here's my take on the advantages 
>> of
>> having a guide dog.
>>
>> 1.  Your cane doesn't love you.  Your dog is a living being with a
>> centuries-old bond to humankind, motivated by a quick intelligence, a
>> courageous and playful spirit, and a loving heart.
>>
>> 2.  Your cane extends your fingertip maybe six feet in front of you. 
>> That's
>> good.  Your dog knows what's happening a block away--that construction 
>> site
>> that will make you retrace your steps; that cool coffee-house you might 
>> walk
>> right on by; that dear friend who hasn't noticed you yet.  That's great!
>>
>> 3.   With your cane and your developed mobility skills, you'll earn 
>> people's
>> respect for doing what they themselves can't imagine doing.  Your dog 
>> will
>> smile back at that pretty woman you've been too shy to approach, and make
>> that pickpocket think twice about picking yours.
>>
>> 4.   When you're feeling low, your cane won't have much to say about it.
>> Your dog's needs will get you up off the couch and outside into the fresh
>> air.
>>
>> 5.   When was the last time you were out with the guys and told a funny
>> story about your cane?
>>
>> Weigh the evidence.
>>
>> Happy Holidays,
>>
>> Elizabeth
