[nagdu] Japanese guide dog teamsRE: My dream is gone

[Dan Weiner]

Interesting about the Asian lady.
It doesn't surprise me having been in Japan and seeing similar
couples--smile.
I also did meet more active handlers so I suppose to each his or her own.
One bizarre thing, well, bizarre for me--smile--is that one school over
there trains a guide dog to work with a married couple.
Either the guy takes the dog sometimes and the gal another, or they walk,
the guy with the dog and the girl with her hand looped in the guys belt,
walking behind him,  actually that one sounds sort of romantic to me though
I don't know how efficient it is--smile.
The reason given is the supposed lack of space for two in quotes, big, dogs.
I say in quotes because the Japanese guide dogs I met weren't really big by
my standard and I like big labs and so on.
They were small mostly yellow labs, almost exclusively, and cute, maybe
fifty-five to sixty-five pounds.

Anyway, that was a propos of nothing, just that you mentioned a Japanese
lady with a guide dog--smile

Cordially,
