[nagdu] Juryfinds IADept.forBlind'sguidedogpolicydoesnotdiscriminate

[Margo and Elmo]

I thought osmeone said they're on tie-down.  it sounds like they are 
well-loved and cared for by everyone and that the dogs kind of have a huge 
family there.

I don't kow if I'll ever agree totally with the policy and I do think it 
could be more like Criss cole's where the dog doesn't work for 4 hours of 
the class day, but, it sounds a bit better.  yes, lcb guide dogs were asked 
to be left in the apartment all day and I thought that was very inhumane.
