[nagdu] Missing guide dog found struck by car

[Angie Matney]

Very good point. I think, to them, cars are sort of part of the "guiding
game." I don't mean to imply that our dogs always think of guiding as a
game. But they know that during that activity, they are supposed to watch
out for cars. It simply doesn't occur to them to watch out for cars when
they are *not* guiding. They can't generalize to that extent.

Guide dogs out of harness will not respect cars. This was drilled into us in

training, and I am well aware of it personally. Fortunately my dogs who 
played escape artist were never hit; but this is something to guard against 
very carefully.
