[Blindtlk] Another Question for the Guide dog Users

[Graves, Diane]

Hi Marion,

I'm  sorry. Not sure what happened there. It was being a bit stubborn when I was trying to send it so maybe something was out of sync. I'll paste it here again, and hopefully it will go through this time. Here it is:

As many of you know, I have been toying with the idea of trying a dog for a long time. I just keep weighing the pros and cons, and haven't yet decided which side to come down on. (smile)  Unfortunately I was not able to attend the division meeting in Orlando. I just have one quick question for you.

Suppose I decide to take the plunge, and then a few months down the road realize that this wasn't a good choice for me and I want to go back to being a cane user? What happens to that dog. Is the dog just wasted, when it could have gone to someone who was more sure? Can a dog be reclaimed and given to another user? What would the options be? I certainly don't want to be responsible for wasting a valuable animal that I know costs thousands to train.

Any insight or info would be appreciated.

Diane,
    For some reason, the messages in the body of your email do not show up. 
There are attachments, but I am very cautious about opening atachments 
without messages in the body.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
