[nagdu] Jury finds IA Dept. for Blind's guide dogpolicydoesnotdiscriminate

[melissa Green]

Hello all.
I think that we should all consider that the release stated that this woman
came back to the program.  She had been through the program befor, and
wanted to come back to the program with her dog.
I M O, she knew what the training program was like and that cane training
was part of it.
Just my opinion.
