[nagdu] Italian greyhound guide dog?

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Tracy,

Yeah, the image of the IG guide is, er, fairly amusing.  Didn't the article
mention that it is also a diabetic alert dog?  It would be easy to fit
places, though.  /smile/  I would entertain myself wondering at the choice
of breed, there, except that this would ensure that the next time I step out
the door I will be confronted and lectured about how poodles can't be guide
dogs...  /lol/  Well, that hasn't happened for a while, but maybe the
poodles can't be guide dogs club is just saving up for a special occasion?
/smile/

Odd, I know there are other guide and service dog users around here, because
people will tell me about them, but I honestly have no idea who they are,
since even if we pass each other, we don't know we're there.  Wonder if I've
passesd this guy around town and just didn't have a clue.  It feels strange
somehow.  Probably because of my rural background where everybody knows
everything about everybody, including their car, horse, dogs, you name it.
/smile/

The article Ginger posted about the guy getting beat up when he tried to
bring his guide dog into a store said the guide dog is an Italian
greyhound.  Really?  IGs are toy dogs--pretty small and fairly delicate. 
If the guide dog is really an IG, hey, bring on the King Charles spaniel,
the cocker spaniel, the corgi!  Think of all the extra foot room I'd get
in a taxi or plane!  Of course, the harness handle would have to be a yard
long...
Got that Ginger?  Next time I'm back at TSE, I'll volunteer to be the test
subject for the Corgi Seeing Eye dog.
