[nagdu] a bizaare question

[solsticesinger]

My Rachel dog would move for me, too. Caroline, on the other hand, just lies 
there, even though I've had her for over three years now. I guess it just 
depends on the particular dog.

Also, I think it might have a bit to do with self-preservation, I.E. whether 
or not the dog wants to be stepped on.

I have a question and I've never really discussed it...I know that our dogs
obviously guide us because it was what they were trained to do, but does
anyone really know or has it been discussed whether our dogs really know
that we're blind and understand that we are blind? I'm just curious of this.
My first guide dog, Vanda, moved out of my way when she would see me coming,
but Hadley just lays on the floor expecting me to walk around her. So I was
just curious about that.
