[nagdu] opinions of other blind people

[Michael Hingson]

I'm with Genine.  I have had many occasions where some "expert" decided to
inform me of my short comings concerning working with my guide dog.  It is
difficult to get these individuals to understand that perhaps we know what
we are doing.

Now days I simply refer them to my web site to read the journal I have begun
concerning my adventures with Africa.  I plan to include other discussions
about dog training and the human-animal bond in order to provide another
place where people hopefully can go to learn a bit of reality.

Marsha, you are doing the right thing.  You know what is best for your dog.
I, like Genine, encourage you to give people the phone# of your school.  If
the school is doing its job perhaps anyone who calls will turn into a donor.
I have made that happen more than once.


Cheers,

These are probably the same people who would threaten to call your school if
you'd allowed your dog freedom and she'd gotten into their food and drinks.
<sigh> 

I probably would have written the number of my school in large print and
braille for that person and encouraged him/her to call ASAP.
