[nagdu] looking for research

[Albert J Rizzi]

Below is a link to a short you tube clip from "Through a Dog's Eyes"  a
documentary about service dogs that will air on PBS on April 21st.
I thought you might want to know. The trailer seems to be more about dogs
who help people with paralysis though maybe there may be a guide dog or two
in the final version. I would think you may be able to draw conclusions from
the documentary which may answer some of your questions. Enjoy.

Thanks!  I did try Google, but mostly found guide dog program satisfaction 
surveys, a health survey, a lot on access denial statistics and one thing 
from GDF that looks like it will be useful.

I've seen some that look promising, but I don't want to spend $43 for one 
article.  Ouch!

Julie
