[nagdu] Dogs and NFB

[Larry D. Keeler]

I use dogs because I llove them.  I can get around just fin without them but go much faster with them!  I have had many sighted folks tell me it looks like I'm leading my dog around instead of the other way around.  This is kind of true sence I tell her which direction or point to where I'd like to go and she goes there.  They don't realize her only job is to get me there without bump, tripping or falling on something.  They think that Holly should know where I want to go as well as not run me into stuff!  Sometimes I have been known to yell at folks for running or pushing me out of the way of something instead of letting Holly take me around it!  I always ask them exactly why do they think dogs can go with us anyway!  Let her do her job and you'll see what it is!   
Intelligence is always claimed but rarely proven!
