[nagdu] being reported to your school

[The Pawpower Pack]

Julie,

Thank you for writing this. You expressed my thoughts exactly.  I have  
never understood the reporting to the program bit.  I agree that if a  
person thinks there is abuse, call the animal control agency in your  
city or county.  Calling the school also can turn into a bit of a  
witch hunt at times, or so it seems.  I called the program on you, so  
you'll call the program on me the next time you see me doing anything  
you may deem unacceptable.  Instead of speaking to the person  
directly, showing a bit of kindness, offering a bit of support, most  
people just call big brother and I can't even begin to express how  
much this bothers me.
I also agree that if we want the guide dog programs to respect us, to  
treat us as adults, we need to stop treating the programs like the  
parent whom we "tattle to" instead of acting like adults and using the  
procedures already in place i.e. animal control to deal with issues if  
a person feels there is cause.
