[nagdu] Questions About Guide Dogs

[Larry D. Keeler]

The dog will usually go through a parking lot and head for the nearest 
building.  You don't run into cars or get lost in the parking lot.  Although 
it is up to you to know what building you want.  They usually can be taught 
to find in whenever you need them to as well.  But if you tell them to find 
in, they'll find the first in or the most interesting in.  For instance, if 
a pet store is near where you want to go and if you don't give them left, 
right or forward directions, guess which in you'll end up at?

>> That's a big place!
>> Intelligence is always claimed but rarely proven!
