[nagdu] The follow cue was Explaining to parents that guidedogsare useful

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Rox,

Are you sure our two dongs don't get on our computers and iPhones when we're
sleeping to compare notes and hold strategy sessions?

Mitzi si very much the same way about follow.  She seems to take it a
request that use the followee to determine a general direction, so she plans
the route to get there.  I actually prefer it that way, because then the
burden is not on the other person to ensure the route he/she takes is going
to work for a guide dog team.

Julie,

It took a long time for Laveau to figure out the point of following  
someone else. It was by far, the hardest thing for her to learn.  She  
will still find a different way if she thinks that the person we're  
following isn't going where it is safe.
