[nagdu] a new guide dog program

Of course, silly!  If C.R.A.P. is so good as to give you a manual to go with
your guide dog, it's up to you to figure out how to read it.  Do you know
how much *more* they would have to charge for each and every dog to cover
the expense of transcribing and embossing a manual just for you?  Snicker.
