[nagdu] Explaining to parents that guide dogs are useful

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I have a pet dog, so I hope I am well acquainted with the care a dog 
requires. Besides the fact that with a guide dog the entire responsibility 
of its care is mine, is there any difference in care with a guide dog than a 
pet?


Thanks for all your helpful advice and suggestions.
Mark
