>> Heya all!
>>
>> I've decided to start my very own, brand spankin' new guide dog program!
>> Of course it will be totally state of the art.  The very latest in
>> offering blind people all the rights and privileges they so want.
>>
>> All training will happen in your home environment.  We will drop off the
>> dog to you on Monday morning with a booklet describing the use and care 
>> of
>> the dog.  since you are very skilled in blindness alternatives, this
>> shouldn't be a problem.  this is for your convenience.  should you have
>> questions please call the number in the booklet and leave a message.
>> Someone will call you back when we feel like it.
>>
>> The trainer will not disturb your normal routine during the home training
>> process.   You will be free to take the dog wherever you like as soon as
>> you like, immediately after signing all the release of liability forms.
>> If you or the dog experience a mental health crisis please seek the
>> services of a professional.
>>
>> None of the dogs will be given health testing or hip X-rays.  You, being 
>> a
>> competent blind person, will be able to administer any complicated 
>> medical
>> interventions the dog may need.  Please see Appendix A in the booklet for
>> troubleshooting tips.
>>
>> In line with our forward philosophy on blindness, we firmly believe that
>> all blind people, regardless of their background, experience, available
>> time or inclination can be competent dog trainers.  We therefore will
>> provide only the barest minimum of training.  Should you experience
>> difficulty, please see Appendix B of the booklet for suggestions.
>>
>> We do not want to be viewed as a charity for the blind because this would
>> be demeaning to blind people.  We therefore charge $75,000 for each dog.
>> We are sorry that refunds or guarantees are not available.  The purchase
>> price must be paid in full before delivery of the dog.
>>
>> In keeping with our hands off approach to the training experience, your
>> privacy and independence, we will not be offering any follow up services.
>> After dropping off the dog to your home, you will never again hear from
>> any of our staff.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> The C.R.A.P. Guide Dog School
