>>> 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
